I co-sign this question. I think being "okay with rich kids" is a lot different than "wants" one. My kid doesn't want a rich kid vibe, but she's been in private school in nyc and knows how to navigate this. We're not taking these colleges off our list. But it's not easy and it's not for everyone - it takes a certain personality not to let instagram posts of some friends off skiing in Switzerland to get you down. You have to be a person who can be upfront and say, "you guys! I can't afford to door dash sushi every night - give me a break" and be okay with it. My dd knows there are some kids who will respond, "why are you poor?" and some who will respond, "sorry, Lisa. you're right. let's go to the dining hall - I'll get the ramen". Not every rich kid is going to be friend material, but some are.

You also have to be okay thinking, Hey, if I had a zillion dollars, I'd take a private plane to ski too. You can't be bitter about what you dont have
