I read that all the time here, but nobody has convincingly explained yet why socially elite ultra rich people want to hang out with a GS-12’s kids from Reston.

Like if there was a poor person version of this board and everyone was posting there the main reason to go to a T20 that was you could meet all these UMC kids, like big Washington lawyers kids, all of you would be going ick I don’t want those kids around and you wouldn’t be giving them jobs and internships. You give those to the other UMC kids whose parents can do something for you.

You’re the poor people to legitimately wealthy folks. Wow, you can pay cash for Amherst, who cares. That’s a rounding error for them.

They don’t want their daughter anywhere near your math nerd with no social value and zero business connections that can help them.

They already have 100 people just like you working for them and they don’t need you to get face time with a cabinet secretary or a Senator.
