[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thai is literally the reason people send their kids to private schools op to mingle with other rich kids. [/quote]

Only a handful are married to men they went to high school with.[/quote]

You don’t get it. I went to a private school in DC. We hung out with kids from other DC private schools. I cannot think of one public school kid we hung out with with the exception of summer swim team. So you meet other private school friends, visit them in college, meet their private school college friends, go to the same county clubs and beaches, and ski resorts, etc. [/quote]

I see. So it's not just the immediate alumni network of the prep school, it's also friends of friends from that alumni network paying dating, social and even career dividends?[/quote]

I started a thread recently about people in this area and how much they seem to care about getting their kid into the right private schools. They seem to care less about not going to a top college. I’m glad I am not imagining this.[/quote]

I suspect this will change and [b]is fundamentally the reason that Columbia is no longer requiring sat and act scores as part of the undergrad admissions criteria.[/b] With such an objective, meritocratic measures we've created an over production of elites and the class signal from the Ivies has been diluted. [b]With subjective admissions criteria, there will be more spots for super rich kids who would have had mediocre test scores. [/b]

It doesn't particularly bother me bc it's just human nature but I hope we stop associating these schools with our country's best and brightest minds and treat them as the guardians of elite society that all of these schools are and have been.[/quote]
No, the "super rich kids" with mediocre test scores always potentially had a spot, esp. if legacies as well, even better if family donated. [/quote]
