[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think private schools like Tufts and Emory have a networking advantage over the top state schools. I would think there’s probably more wealthy and well connected students at privates. I don’t think there’s much difference in academics, with the exception of a specialty one school or the other might have. Unless I could pay my kids private tuition just as easily as in-state tuition, I probably wouldn’t encourage my kid to go to the private school, but that’s because I don’t value getting ahead through connections.

Not really - the wealthy kids tend to keep to themselves. And it is not at college but high school where the tight knit connections at privates are made[/quote]

Dumbest DCUM post of the day. [/quote]

Says the non wealthy non private school person.  Connections are made in the private HS. You see the same person every day for over 6 years in the small private school and parents mix and get to know each other at school functions and sports and volunteering together. [/quote]

I went to private school. Was pretty poor. Most friends were rich. Looking forward to your nonsensical response. [/quote]

That is what PP is pointing out - going to private colleges to get connections w the wealthy is not going to happen. They stick to their own group. Best time to do so is at Middle school and high school where kids know each other and parents too.[/quote]
