[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid is looking for small classes and rigorous academics, but also wants the socioeconomic diversity that you find at large state schools. Desperately wants to avoid the prep school/country club vibe.

Excellent stats/ECs.

Suggestions? Resources for data on student body income/wealth distribution?

Thx!

Let’s be honest here. [b]The truly wealthy kids (trust fund kids, ultra high net worth families) know who they are and dont need to segregate as there is no need for self affirmation. Most of these kids welcome interactions and friends from all social classes as they have nothing to prove.[/b]
The self proclaimed rich and wealthy wannabes are the worst kind. There is a huge difference between these two. This group needs self justification and quite frankly, more often than not enjoys to self segregate with kids that are like them. They are the worst kind.
