[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads are all the same. Middle class and UMC neurotic parents obsessed with helicoptering their teen into the upper rungs of society. Truth is there’s no difference in the wealth found in an average group of Ivy kids and the selective frat/sorority houses at a big state school.

It does not matter where your kid goes. They either have “it” or they don’t. “It” includes academic preparation...raw ambition...beauty...and of course the gift of gab. Within the first couple of weeks on campus your kid is sorted.

Unlikely your striver kid is lucky enough to fall of with rich (especially if you’re not a private high school alum), and even if they do, even more unlikely those friendships will last beyond college outside of a wedding invitation.[/quote]

If you are middle class or UMC then sure. If you aren’t studies have shown that top schools provide a massive leg up for LMC kids who wouldn’t even be able to afford frat dues at a state school. [/quote]
