I know tins of east and south asian multi-multi millionaires in NYC. New money hedge fund/PE people. It's not just wasp's these days who can be rich. That said, I agree w/ your bigger point. Why are these kids winning at the college lottery at Dalton vs. DC private school asian kids who did struggle this year with just one or two exceptions at our local DC private school
perhaps the NYC parents of asian kids donated more to colleges. Or perhaps those schools just have better college process/rigor/reputations w/ top 30 schools that our vaunted DC schools do
IME the only place that still has that "old WASPY money" vibe in NYC is Chapin and the K-8 boys schools (excluding Allen Stevenson)
Pretty much that. Def St David's.
What’s the st. Bernard’s vibe?

Dalton has never been a WASP/old money school. It's always attracted celebrity kids and had a very high Jewish population. In NYC, WASPs send their kids to the single sex schools then to boarding school.
