[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in NYC and grew up in DC. The wealth and connections are generally on a different scale. These are billionaire, private jet, private island type families. They are masters of industry who have Ivy board members on speed dial. They basically own Harvard, Yale and Princeton.[/quote]

Exactly! The Ivies and top schools are all talk and full of it.[/quote]

No, the concept is introduce *some* diverse students who will then have access to these elite peers and the education they've always been able to secure (and vice versa, maybe).  Eliminate that original group and all is for naught.[/quote]

Many of the "diverse" peers at Ivies are just normal kids these high schools as well. Either well-off and connected URM families or kids that got to the private school through Prep for Prep or similar. It's a crummy system. I have no idea why so many people are driven to defend it.[/quote]

Of course, same concept works younger, and that ups the odds.  I'm not defending anything, but how is it people obsess about going to a school for elites, without realizing the elites are the obsession?[/quote]
