[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wake Forest has a serious cachet among wealthy prep school families. It sounds like a lot of public university alums post here, so the allure of a selective private education full of snobby rich kids is over your head.[/quote]

Wow, way to be an elitist douche. I graduated with honors from Andover. I'm well versed in "the allure of a selective private education." You know how many kids went to Wake Forest from Andover last year? 0. 5 kids went to Michigan and 10 went to UVA. Why? Because UVA and Michigan are better than Wake Forest.

Cherry picking from the #1 prep school in the world. What does that prove? The median family income of a student from Wake Forest is $221,500, it is top 10 in wealthiest student bodies in the US.

The median family income of a student from Virginia is $155,500.

As I said, WF has serious cachet among wealthy. While UVA is fantastic, but there's a segment of rich people that turn their nose down on a big public U education - they want their kids in small classes, around very high % of other smart rich kids.[/quote]

Even if true, the only thing this proves is that WFU attracts rich kids who aren’t smart enough for better schools.  [/quote]
