[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you care about status and staying elite then BS is the way to go. While some students are there for the education, most are there because it’s a status symbol. If your child moves to NY or LA or really anywhere, a BS education will benefit them more with the right crowds. Many in DC will argue that DC privates are well known but I disagree. I think Dallas privates are more recognized than DC privates besides maybe Sidwell. There isn’t enough money in DC. [/quote] This really doesn’t hold true, in my experience. Kids were either at Andover for the education or for the education [b]and because they have family legacy there. [/b] These schools are just too hard to get into for someone who is only interested in it for status to have much of a chance at getting in and succeeding. Andover’s unofficial motto is “sink or swim.” I found it much harder than college, FWIW.[/quote] Family legacy is status [/quote]
