[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're talking about socially elite, and you certainly should be, then the only schools that matter are.....

Princeton
Willians/Amherst
Harvard
Dartmouth
Bowdoin/Midd
Wellesley/Wesleyan

The rest are vulgar, jumped up, pre-professional diploma mills.[/quote]

Take out Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin (?), Middlebury (?!), Wellesley, Wesleyan ( :lol: ) and add in Yale, Columbia, Stanford, MIT, Penn, Chicago, Northwestern, Duke, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth and then we're talking.

I'm sorry my poor child but absolutely no one is looking at a Bowdoin or a Middlebury degree and thinking, "Ah, yes, socially elite."[/quote]

Gross. You clearly didn’t attend a proper prep school.

-NP, but that guy was spot on. [/quote]

+1 Lol, seriously.

Also, anyone who’s anyone knows that “elite-ness” matters far more for your graduate degree - where you rub shoulders with the best of the best from around the world, professionally speaking…

Everyone I know who went to a super selective liberal arts school (15 or so people?) made sure to attend a top program and/or Ivy for their JD/MBA/PhD. Pretty sure actual stats back this up- that SLACs send proportionately more kids to top grad programs- but can’t be bothered to check at the moment  :?   [/quote]
