[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The wealth on this graph at Brown doesn't surprise me. My family friend's son is at Brown. Lots of uber wealthy kids and many kids or nieces/nephews of celebrities. The rich/adjacent celebrity kids not surprisingly hang out together and form cliques based on where they holiday and live or have their second homes. [/quote]

Yes read earlier in this thread…..rich ppl hang out with each other. It’s easier that way.

Your first tier is top boarding schools.
Tier down is certain other private/prep schools (along with the kids of CEO /hedge fund/PE/banker parents bc kids want jobs)
Further down is public high school but full pay
Below that is financial aid kids of any amount.
Bottom is FGLI/questbridge etc.

Read about real experiences on Reddit if you doubt it.

One of the most popular icebreakers for new student orientation/dorms is “where do you summer” or where did you vacation post-graduation. Followed by country club geography.

Eh. My kid is friends with some of the famous people kids, and we are middle class. And we get good aid, so the "barbell" poster can stuff it. "Doughnut hole" would be like [b]250k+, which is well-off, frankly.[/quote][/b]

No irs def not. 
We make 20x that (in sometimes not even the best years).

We’ve def had very diff lived experiences and it’s not comparable at all.[/quote]

250k+ IS well off. You are just filthy rich. No one was comparing your "lived experience."[/quote]
