[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen it’s a school for a certain set.  If you’re not familiar, there’s no convincing you, and it’ll probably piss you off

Kids are from NE affluent suburbs mostly private or boarding
Dads are Wall Street types 
They weren’t superstars on high school but they did fine, partied, well liked, probably played a sport
They summer on Block Island, Vineyard etc 
They know what scotch their dad likes best and will but it got a visit 
Preppy with a NE bent (Patagonia, Birks) 
Liberal

What will piss yiu iff is they will put in some effort and have done great teachers, graduate, and end up living pretty much their parents’ life in Rye, or Wellesley, or similar.

Reason:  affluent , connected background, strong soft skills, play the right sports, smart enough, etc.  you can hate it but this is still the reality for a certain population [/quote]

I only visited but this sounds like what I overheard and observed. One guy mentioned his stock broker dad. Miss Preppy was visiting as a new student. All seemed liberal and rich. Money wasn’t an issue.

Completely spot on - I attended [/quote]
