[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you can afford it, hands down the best academic preparation for a young man or woman. Additionally, the social connections my children developed attending Big3 schools (at 2 of the 3) have continuously provided a significant life benefit, both professionally and in social circles.  Really prepared them for life in ways a public school never could..[/quote]

I have a big 3 graduate and yes great preparation, [b]but the connections are for only those who happen to make friends within the inner circle.  Very hard to do this. [/b] No connections for my DC. [/quote]

I have a kid who made these connections at a Big3 and we (the parents) are nobodies. He is super charismatic, very high EQ, quick witted. 
I have another kid who did not.  
It's definitely true that making a world of elite social connections works for some and not for others.  I see kids left on the social sideline all the time--including some of the wealthiest kids. 
But it's all about who the kid is, not who the parents are.
