Santa Clara

Syracuse
U-Miami 
Villanova 
Tulane
Pepperdine

If so, these are the private schools ranked between 35 and 80 that I think he is referring to? Or maybe is it a more narrow set?

Interestingly, these are the schools where a lot of middle of the pack (3.7uw) private school kids that are full pay, apply early and get in from our private school[/quote]

I’d pay for a degree for some of these schools. Maybe the higher ranked ones or even Wake. Maybe case is the line?[/quote]

Meh. Aside from the extra cost, there are real social issues that result from these barbell-like colleges where you have a lot of first gen/Pell kids and then a top of top 1% money is no object kids. For one thing, the Pell kids start to think most white people are rich, because they only see rich white kids at their school.  [/quote]
