[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still have my original copy. This thread inspires me to re-read it, now that my kids are nearing college age. The book was published before the Internet took off and before college rankings became so important. It was a time when people went to the schools their grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles attended and not where USN&WR said was “best”. Legacy status was huge. Being preppy is also about working smart, not hard. No Prep wants to be considered a grind. [/quote] The book was satire, you realize? [/quote] The writer was given this book on assignment, and did not realize it was humor. For context you need to know this if you are going to be so condescending in this way. Yes, the book is humor. But the writer took it as seriously as if she were sociologist or something. [/quote]
