[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be pissed if I spent $50K a year on private school and my kid didnt get into Harvard or Yale.[/quote]
Why? There are around 400K seniors in private school each year, and just over 4000 spots at Harvard and Yale.[/quote]

I just find some of the snobbery on this thread a little perplexing. You spent $200,000 on a high school that got your kid into a university where most of the rest of the students attended their local public high schools at a cost to them of $0. Why is that an occasion for looking down your nose? [/quote]

DP. The speaking skills, accent, writing skills are all perfected well before college. That is what they paid for. Ask anyone who has been at an Ivy or elite college and the difference in the classroom between tbe private schools kids and public school kids is very obvious. Sadly socially as well. Private school kids stick together. There is a social element and way of conducting yourself in a small private school and small private school classroom with 10-15 kids in a history or english class. This is something you clearly are not privy to but those of us who are “get it.”[/quote]

The other kids at Clemson will be very impressed by your child's diction. [/quote]

Post the number of Big 3 graduates COMBINED, in the past four years, that attended Clemson (athletic recruits not included). I’m certain it’s five or fewer students.

I’ll wait. [/quote]

Clemson is a great school. You have zero idea what you are talking about. [/quote]

Clemson may be a “great school” for the masses, but it’s not a good result for a Big 3 graduate (non-athletic recruit).

For many Big 3 families, there are a handful of acceptable/moderately prestigious public universities. Clemson is not and has never been on that list. Argue with someone else. [/quote]
