That’s funny you’d say that. I’m from FL and know people who went there from my high school. I was surprised that there were kids from NY and NJ there. But yeah, you’re right.

Wake was already kind of snooty when I was there in the 90s. Now that it costs $90k and they give very little aid …

Good add with High Point but it is really the school for 'midd' rich kids. Bottom 25% type of kid because the others have much stronger options.
I think there’s a high point booster on here

Agree on Skidmore. The two people I know from the wealthiest families (like own half of Connecticut wealthy) went there.

My perhaps unfair impression is that these schools have a lot of wealthy entitled kids
Wrong? Sort of right?
Wrong none of these are where the ultra rich send their kids.
UMiami gets a lot of unwarranted hate but they will have a Trump granddaughter and a Bezo stepson next year. Doesn't get much richer than that.

Your entire list of schools is accurate in that each has a lot of rich kids enrolled.
OP, based on your concern as illustrated by this thread, why is your child considering these schools ?
Dp this is such a weird question
