[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for the elite private schools in this area ... going to Sewanee is not a plus[/quote]

WTF - Yeah, all the elite private school kids should go to the Northeast Corridor, even if you don't want to live there for 4 years. I mean, how would it look to go to a school that someone at the Club might think is inferior to a NESCAC? God forbid you got in a NESCAC and elected to go to Sewanee -- your parents would be laughed out of the Congo or at Chevy. Perhaps W&L, Vandy, Wake or Duke -- maybe Emory or Tulane, but only those. Candidly, Muffy, how could you let Biff ruin his life like that?

In all seriousness, though, Sewanee is getting a lot of good press lately and has experienced a substantial bump in terms of admissions statistics. From our look at colleges a few years back, our elite private school offspring believed the total experience offered at Sewanee - academics, social and athletic opportunities - was superior to what was seen in several of the NESCACs. But, if your filter is based upon pure perceived "prestige," an elitist approach would dictate picking a Trinity or a Connecticut College over a Sewanee or a Rhodes. And you know, an elitist would not be a good fit at Sewanee in any case. [/quote]
