Snobby kids maybe. Mediocre grades no.
Everyone I know who went to bucknell works on wall st or in finance now.
PP here. Same here - definitely a wall street feeder. Not the atmosphere I personally wanted for my kids and there's likely flexibility for full pay private school kids in terms of academic performance and admittance but overall it's a well regarded school and most of the kids that are accepted have put up decent grades.

Richmond is great if you want to stay in VA, but no one outside of this are has any idea how hard it is to get into.

For a science major you want Colgate, Lehigh, or Bucknell
For business you may want Lehigh for its proximity to NYC but Colgate and Bucknell have equally strong programs
For engineering Lehigh is above the rest, but Bucknell is fine too.
I know nothing about W&L other than its lily white frat nonsense reputation.
Richmond has a new Gottwald Science Center, and it's beautiful (we toured) with many quality science options. So your insight is pretty worthless.
A beautiful building does not equal a reputable science program.

PP never said that you CAN'T be a science major at Richmond. They are saying that the other schools are stronger in the sciences.
PP is also a moron.

Bucknell tried to come off as an Ivy when we toured. It was laughable. The tour guides were the only nice ones, but they are all financial aid kids. The prestige they try to have is fake. The kids are mainly private school kids

Agree that Bucknell, Colgate, and Lehigh all are in Richmond's market basket for a lot of kids. GW, NYU, BU, and Northeastern for some, too. Also Davidson and maybe W&L. Denison if you're looking for merit aid. Lewis & Clark and Occidental on the other coast.

Jobs coming out of the humanities are dying.
I’m not entirely sure there were ever quality jobs available for humanities majors.
Well you would be wrong, because I attended a liberal arts college and all my humanities majors friends are doing really well for themselves, by any measure (financial, prestige, doing good in the world, having fun in their jobs).
