[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband went to harvard, and his classmates that went to Exeter or Andover or Saint Paul's claim their high school classmates were smarter on the whole than their college classmates. They remain the only true ivy feeders. And with huge endowments, they can give generous financial aid.[/quote] This. I worked harder and was surrounded by smarter and more talented people, overall, at one of the three schools mentioned above than I was at HYPS for UG/Law. I had never heard of TJ before moving to this area. I'm sure it's a fine school, [b]but clearly it does not have the same global alumni network or social/cultural currency that Exeter or Andover has.[/b] Honestly the only people I've heard talk about TJ sound very "striverish" (for lack of a better word). [/quote] b/c of family connections. most of (if not all) tj families are middle working class with no meaningful connections. [/quote]
