[quote=Anonymous]Elite private schools have their own alumni networks so to some extent sending your kid to one of these takes the pressure off attending a tippy top college where one of the biggest benefits is the network and connections. I have friends who went to schools like Andover and HW and then attended state schools or lesser ranked SLACs and it has not held them back at all. They are using their prep school contacts even decades later -- a friend of mine recently made partner at a NY law firm and if all you knew was his law school and college, you'd think he was mediocre, but he's an Andover grad as are a number of other partners at the same firm, and likely a lot of their clients. He works in finance and I don't think his college/law school have ever held him back (neither are bad schools, they just aren't the kind of elite schools you expect to find at a white shoe law firm in NY).[/quote]
