[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the richest and most privileged kids start attending what are now second tier schools, those same schools will become the ones with the most well connected and successful alum networks. Just watch. Nothing will substantially changed.  The top tier in our society will just change the game. It’s how it has always worked and you are dreaming if you think those with power and money won’t figure out how the beat this new system. As the Ivies become the stomping grounds of the poor, first gen and unconnected, and the powerful will chose new colleges and move their privileged offspring elsewhere. It will then take the 99% at least a decade to figure out what failed in the plan to create more equality. [/quote]

Yes.  Tulane will be the new Harvard by 2030.[/quote]
In all seriousness, the lengths that sub-Ivy tier go through to promote their alumni networks shocked me when I first moved to DC. I really had no idea that this was going on. It’s it’s not just schools like Duke that are very famous for this, it surprises me how much and the lengths that schools like Davidson, Elon, etc grads help each other land jobs.

If you combine these aggressive networks with much more affluent alumni, I think we all can imagine the result. [/quote]
