This. Seems like a badge of shame to me.

It's not the only way these schools are destroying this country. The top 5 private equity schools are UPenn, Dartmouth, Harvard, Stanford, and Duke. We have Trump from UPenn, his right hand man Stephen Miller from Duke, his amazing guide through COVID as US Health Secretary Alex Azar from Dartmouth, and his lovely son in law Jared from Harvard. And likely others in that circle from Georgetown and Stanford. Coincidence? The same schools that churn out these PE businessmen churn out the top politicians that ruin the country.

To be fair, Kushner and Trump are mobsters, not politicans.

Duke and UPenn did always feel like two peas in a pod. Most people I know from both schools have been pretty insufferable. I can't deny that they've also been successful though. Nice houses, bad personalities.

Ain't that the truth. Old classmate of mine from high school graduated near the top of the class with two varsity sports, went to Duke and joined a frat, now makes tens of millions at a finance firm. I think we all kind of knew he'd be successful, but I'm definitely not the only one who hoped he'd fall short just because of his personality. So full of himself. To be fair I haven't spoke with him in years so I don't know what he's like now, but occasionally check up on his social media. Lots of lavishness but I can't imagine he has a great home life.
