[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funnily enough, my best friend is part of a double Princeton & Duke legacy family so this was a question their 3 kids debated over. Two of them went Princeton and the third went Duke.[/quote]

That's a nice problem to have. Is your best friend a big donor or did the kids just happen to be really smart? I don't think all three kids go to Princeton and Duke unless it's one or the other.[/quote]

Smart kids and shrewd parents. Friend isn't rich enough to be a big donor, but is adept at playing the admission game so the kids started ECs at a young age. Kids enrolled in a less competitive high school for high GPA and they had a tutor for SATs. Combined with legacy factor and it was enough for all 3 kids.[/quote]

This was a best friend situation but I'll also say that around here, you often can't tell who has a ton of family $$. It is not as visible in daily life with high earners whose income would support their lifestyles anyway. Most people don't want to live in enormous homes or have 8 cars.
