[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are thousands (5 thousand?) Yale alumni here in the DMV, according to my alum newsletter. There are probably similar numbers for HPSM. It's just not practical for all of our/their kids to get in. [/quote] +1. Good point. If their kids are Big 3 overachievers, they still get into and then dominate at great schools like Penn, UChicago, UVA. I've never met a Harvard alum who thought it was some birthright for their kid to go to Harvard -- that's probably only a posture maybe billionaire alums or nine figure multi-generation alum families have.[/quote]
