[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Columbia you're going to become friends with peers who will become very successful. At UVA you're going to meet a bunch of future SAHM, nurses, teachers, salesman, lawyers. Different levels.[/quote]

That's all well and good but OPs kid won't be hanging out with them; as already mentioned, she'll be busy with work-study, and wont have the cash to prowl the very expensive city like her UMC and upper class classmates.  The networking value will be very limited; the Ivy league does not work that way, the rich hang with the rich, and the poor with the poor.  Only people who really crossed those boundaries were very attractive women (going from poor to rich).[/quote]

Eh. I don't think girls have to be "very" attractive (i.e. model beautiful) to make this kind of leap at an elite school. They just need to be thin with regular features, clean hair, and know how to do their makeup/dress their figure for maximum effect. A couple youtube videos can accomplish that.

One reason to send your kid to an elite school is that it gives them a better pool of potential dating and marriage partners. I mean, I hate to say but we all know this right? It's not PC and it's not necessarily how we want the world to work but that IS still how it works. You'd be a fool to ignore reality.[/quote]
