This is not true.

I’m sure 18 y/o are concerned with that

My daughter is at UVM and her sorority is full of private and boarding school kids from New England.

So far? They haven't even released the RD acceptances.

They are talking about class of 26 - current freshmen at UVM.

The best private schools? Funny, I went to one of the top boarding schools in New England--way above of the league of the so-called "best" private schools in this area--and UVM was always a draw.

It is Andover mom! We know. We know. You are from NYC, went to Andover, you are Jewish but went to Georgetown, etc. Why do you insist on talking about Andover weekly??

For what it's worth, UVM has been targeting this area. This year, there are 80 kids in the class of '26 from the DMV.

+1 UVM has always drawn from the top preppy schools.

It depends how you think about it, I think. For instance, there's almost always at least one kid going to UVM each from Phillips (Andover) and Phillips Exeter. But it's usually just one or two, so it's not one of the "usual suspects" like Penn, Columbia or NYU where 10-30 kids might be going.

RD is this coming Friday.

People in the DC area think the private high schools they send their kids to are the best of the best. They aren't even on the radar in the world of the NE prep schools. But try they will.

One of my friends from SFS went there in the 90s.

Well if your senior said…
