[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM is filled with prole strivers who are status obsessed. That's why. Most confident rich people don't give a damn about the Ivy League.[/quote]

Sure, that's why they try to find workarounds to buy their kids in. Les Wexner sent his kids to Harvard, Jamie Dimon sent his kids to Duke, Stephen Mandel sent his kids to Dartmouth, and so on and so forth.[/quote]

Are you mingling with billionaires? Obviously you're not, so why cite 3 of them to prove your ridiculous point. When I say rich I mean multi-millionaires; $5 million to $50 million net worths. None of the millionaires I know are obsessed with the Ivy League. Their smart kids apply where ever they want. The most exclusive tend to be places like UVA, Vandy, Duke, Wake Forest and NYU. But often it's just small liberal arts colleges, if not some Southern "party" school. There is not this insatiable dog eat dog obsession with the "t20" or "t10" like the weirdos on here and College Confidential.[/quote]
