[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The higher the SES, the more likely a person will know of these schools. It's not just about whether a person grew up with money, it's about whether a person was exposed to elite educational circles. Frankly, I would not care about the people who have never heard of these NESCAC schools - [b]they are not going to be the ones who will be influencing her future.[/b][/quote]

This is only true if she never leaves academia.

BS my husband’s family is generational massive wealth from Florida.

Everyone goes to UF or you don’t get your trust if you are a male.

Well that was till Destantis but I digress my MiL is highly educated she wouldn’t know most of those schools . She’s a Harvard graduate. Her family is from Boston. She also came from generational wealth.

Old money does not  equate to NESCAC schools . New money sure old establishment wealth no. [/quote]

This is stupid…of course your MIL has heard of NESCAC schools considering many have been around since the 18th century.

I guess since Harvard is the oldest college in the US, then all other schools are filled with “new money”.

Bowdoin was founded in 1794 and my assumption is that many graduates back in the 1800s stayed in New England and a bunch became rich (or probably came from rich families to start).[/quote]
