[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think it's kind of interesting to see that there are quite a few Indian and Asian surnames are in the Dalton group.  That suggests that these are not WASP types with old money.  So the parents of these Dalton kids were able to break into the upper echelons somehow, probably through sheer hard work, determination, and intelligence.[/quote]

I know tins of east and south asian multi-multi millionaires in NYC. New money hedge fund/PE people. It's not just wasp's these days who can be rich. That said, I agree w/ your bigger point. Why are these kids winning at the college lottery at Dalton vs. DC private school asian kids who did struggle this year with just one or two exceptions at our local DC private school

perhaps the NYC parents of asian kids donated more to colleges. Or perhaps those schools just have better college process/rigor/reputations w/ top 30 schools that our vaunted DC schools do[/quote]

IME the only place that still has that "old WASPY money" vibe in NYC is Chapin and the K-8 boys schools (excluding Allen Stevenson)[/quote]

Pretty much that. Def St David's. [/quote]

What’s the st. Bernard’s vibe? [/quote]

St. Bernard's is the ultimate old boy, old money WASP school. St. David's is Catholic. Buckley is also WASPy though there's a bit more newer money. The education at St. Bernard's is incredibly impressive. I went to HS with several St. B's boys and all were super smart and all very much gentlemen. I don't know what the vibe is at A-S. My guess is that it is considered less academic, that was certainly true back in my day. Not sure where is lands ethnically.[/quote]
