[quote=Anonymous]To speak more to the difference in skillset that some independent schools can foster versus many of my high-performing friends from the public school to Ivy track: In this same St. Bernard's to Collegiate pipeline, one boy who was the valedictorian at Princeton went on to work for several reputable hedge funds before starting his own (and later sold it). His biggest focus during high school and college? Classics. Another St. B's boy went to Collegiate, then Harvard, played professional ice hockey, and also turned out to be an amazing writer of one of the funniest books I've read about investment banking as a career. Many of my more traditional public school friends were just top academic performers who focused on straight up math and science accomplishments during their school years. [/quote]
