Strange comment/observation. Why would thread even be established if poster wasn't looking for discussion?

Because it’s not about “getting into a school” it’s about living each day and having a great experience at Visi, or STJ, or stone ridge or holy cross. Each child shadows a schools, finds one that will make the next 4 years the best for that specific child.
Why pay $3500/year got club soccer if you are not playing in college? Because they like it.
Also $40K isn’t all that much, if it were then you would possibly have other more pressing priorities.
PP. Thanks. I was under the assumption that these higher priced WERE about getting into a school. Guess I stand corrected.

They're rich white kids. Where they go to college is irrelevant to future success.

Greek life, SEC schools, culturally Southern, wealthy & privileged...it's a family thing.
Plenty of affluent families in the DMV sent their kids south before GWB came into office.
I knew a few prep school grads who headed to Clemson back in the 1990s. They were looking for a not so complicated college experience in a warmer state with good school spirit and they got exactly what they wanted, and they all have comfortable lives today. That's all there is to it.

Parents who have children there use this term. I’ve heard it many times.
