[quote=Anonymous]Local public school grad who went to Ivy college/law school. The Ivy schools have big enough endowments to provide generous scholarships to kids who aren't from wealthy families, and most students now come from public, not private, schools. You cannot control who her friends will be, or their backgrounds. For the most part, students at an Ivy tend to converge once they get there. The middle-income kids from area schools like, say, Quince Orchard or Herndon will get a bit preppier, and most (though not all) of the wealthy kids from schools like Andover, Exeter or St. Albans will tend to play down their family wealth and connections. If the friend is really a concern, I'd raise with your daughter whether she really wants to room with someone she already knows, or roll the dice with roommate selection. But it ought to be her decision. Your worries would be other people's dreams. [/quote]
