[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does "social capital to transition well" mean. Does it mean the kid is likely a person of privilege who was born into every conceivable monetary advantage (becasue her parents were born into upper middle class privilege) and who has gone to school with others like her?[/quote] I meant that the graduates of the expensive privates learn how to be adept college students through their high school experience. They've already experienced college-like freedoms and managed those risks. The ones that couldn't didn't graduate from StA/NCS, Sidwell, GDS, etc. with B+ transcripts. It doesn't necessary mean that they come from families with lots of money (most of them do) since one-third of the students are on financial aid. It just means they've been trained to be successful in the college experience. [/quote]
