Oldest would need to gun next year, but he has an athletics hook and has the grades and test scores. Youngest is also plausible to be a solid contender for this path just based on his academics, drive and being better than oldest at the sport that is getting oldest noticed by prep school coaches. We live in a nice inner ring suburb with good schools that places well into our state flagship, which is one of the better ones that places well nationally. But Ivies/top 10 UGs are rare even for valedictorians from our local public HS. Pretty sure oldest will do some kind of liberal arts degree just knowing him and his personality/intellectual strengths, but I will likely be able to get him to tack on a business degree of some kind or an Econ major if he goes to a state flagship. We also have legacy at all of HYPS between UGs and grad schools of me, wife, my parents and my siblings. Stipulating that I’m ok wasting money on college in the 2030s, would it be retarded to pay a private college tuition level of money for high school to encourage my preteen to strivermax? And then potentially do it again for youngest? Why or why not?

It’s the level of Ivy placement that seems wildly different. The adcomms seem to have some sort of secret handshake with schools like this one to take a substantial portion of the class. Add to that the fact that my kid is never going to be a 4 or 5 star recruit but he could be a good enough player to get into HYPS given that he also would have the scores and come from a feeder school. A shitload of the kids they place into the Ivies are athletes, so there appear to be two levels of secret handshakes.

Probably a lot but he would have that working for him, too.

But I think I ultimately agree that it’s a bad play. Just curious if any XO prestigewhore megastrivers wanted to make the case for strivermaxxing. The question I don’t have an answer to is how many of those kids at the elite prep school who got into Ivies had parents who coughed up seven figure donations to get them in. Because if that’s the explanation, then it’s obviously a waste of money for anyone attending who is UMC. But based on what I’ve seen of the place so far that seems to explain only a handful of kids. The other thing is that it seems like it would make high school way shittier. Surrounded by striver nerds and immense pressure to achieve a relatively unreliable result v staying in the neighborhood with friends they’ve known for years, hooking up with girls they had crushes on since third grade, walking home from a friends house, etc. All that seems like it would not be worth the sacrifice unless the outcome was more certain or they let him go for like 25% of the sticker tuition.

Dear friend,

Is the school a boarding school preferably in the Eight Schools Association OR is it a NYC Ivy Prep? Or is it Loyola NYC (NOT regis)?

If so, yes. Even white UMC

If not, no. And laughable

It’s a school that places at that level in terms of T10 UGs but not one of the ones you named. This does make me suspicious that the explanation for their results is not academics and is much more rich people asserting megadonor privileges.

Another point in this debate is the wild ultra shitlib stuff that all of these kinds of schools have been caught doing recently including the specific one I have in mind. That may be a good enough reason by itself to avoid the elite prep school path.

What is the end goal? Ivy grads do not outearn non-Ivy grads by so much that it's really worth 30K+ tuition for four years of high school + multiple hundreds of thousands for the ivy

send the kid to a good non-"elite private" school + state university and give them hundreds of thousands of dollars you save, invested, as a graduation present. Or buy them their first house.

Is this not all set up for a perfect rug pull where the ultra wealthy and their URM pets are the only people who have jobs that pay more than subsistence wages in 20 years? “Oh cool you spent 100k instead of 400k getting a state flagship ug degree.

I agree with the argument that a Harvard UG degree is not as valuable or worthwhile as it was 25 years ago, let alone 50. But I don’t think there’s a lot of upside to spending 200k to be the poorest kid at the ultra rich school who then gets sent back to be with the proles after graduation. I guess my kid could impregnate an heiress or something, but it seems a lot more credited to just go to your local hs if you’re mostly resigned to big state u for ug.

I don't understand the mentality of parents that send their kids to boarding school. like, the kids are going to leave at 18 and be gone forever. no matter how close you are, and even if they move back in for a time, you won't be a cohesive family unit under the same roof in this way again. why would you want to sacrifice that for a marginally better chance at a slightly more decent career in the white collar hellscape (e.g., finance) somewhere down the line?

A little over 400k. Could plausibly get over 600k total HHI by 1/1/2026 if everything broke right. We also have a 529 for him that already has 150k in it because my parents also made contributions and we started when he was born.

I’m curious what level of income of net worth would be sufficient to justify an elite prep school. To me it’s crazy to pay millions to ensure my kids get into Ivies if I was already worth 10M+ and had a clear path to 25M+ net worth by retirement. That’s when I would tell my kids to prioritize fun, friends who are good people, and fucking lots of hot chicks. Like I would be disappointed if they turned out to be Chet Hanks, but I would also be happy that they never have to work if they don’t want to. But my tiny pink low single digit M net worth and likely retirement nest eggs not much more than 10M means they will need jobs when they are grown.

Obviously it’s to strive EVEN BETTER than I did.

But in all seriousness I resist the XO consensus on this topic bc it seems clear to me that college attendance has peaked and lots of people are looking for alternatives. So the relative rarity and resulting prestige premium and benefits of the network are low now but could rebound in 15-20 years, and at that point it will be very advantageous to have maxed out credentials if you are UMC. Related to this is the fact that AA was killed to death by SCOTUS and legacy admissions are so far left completely in tact, so the signaling value of a prestigious degree has been recently pumped up by changes in the legal regime that governs admissions. Similarly, I buy the premise that a lot of jobs that were available to mediocre state school grads 20 years ago up to today are going to be automated away over the next 20 years, and the winners of GC in the 2040s will be people who are able to survive a harsher culling process in their early careers. It may be the case that the brightest state flagship students will be fine anyway, but having attended a state flagship ug and an Ivy law school the difference in terms of the impact of my network has been night and day.

A couple thoughts.

Wife and I were privately educated from K-12, and I also went to a boarding school. We both ended up at an elite Ivy where we met. We vaguely assumed kids would also go to private schools but as life has turned out, we ended up in one of the best school districts in California while the local prep schools have gone extremely woke, much woker than our local public schools. Which have been fine. More than fine, actually. Kids are doing well and are properly challenged. I like their friends, I like their teachers. Most grads go to to UC/Cal State/Arizona schools but a decent cohort goes east to both LACs and Ivies and Hopkins/Vanderbilt/WUSTL etc. Plans to eventually move them to private schools have fallen to the wayside. However, we will definitely reevaluate if we ever have to. Class sizes are still bigger than I'd like but it's working out for now.

As a double Ivy alum, Ivy prestige has greatly declined in last 20 years. The gravy train ain't really there any more outside very selective industries. Most Ivy grads don't even come anywhere close to these industries. If you want to work on Wall Street, having a dad with connections is more helpful than a diploma from an Ivy school. Why bother gunning for a badly corrupt institution these days, places that have become laughingstocks outside the Democratic elite?

But if it's still your goal, Ivy admissions works like this: every prospective incoming class is broken down by demographics, racial, first gen, international students, athletes, legacy/preferred admits from connected families. They want as many blacks/latinos while keeping Asians as plausibly low as possible but still accepting them at greatly overproportional levels. What this means is the slots for the unhooked UMC white kid has collapsed to maybe 10% of the student body, and that's going to be 5% each gender. Assuming 1600 spaces available. 5% of that is 80. You're not gunning for 1 out of 1600 spaces but 1 out if 80 spaces. Meanwhile there's probably 10,000 white male applicants for those 80 spots.

What legacy means is your parents donated a lot of money and / or are seriously prestigious. For a kid with the right stats to be admitted, if you have a fancy Hollywood actor as a legacy dad: guarantee admit. Alumna Mom is a senior executive at Goldman Sachs? Admitted. Your typical law or doctor or corp executive who donated $200 each year for the last 20 years? Reject. And a goodly proportion of the Ivy pipeline to the prestigious consulting/finance/whatever who still want to recruit from the Ivies are dominated by these kids whose parents already have the connections. It's mainly the top 10% of black students at the Ivies who are given access to this pipeline, not the UMC non legacy white students. You're no better off than had you gone to Vanderbilt or Emory.

I guarantee you the fancy prep school you're looking at has a lot of connected parents. Is it one of the DC schools like St. Albans/Sidwell? Plenty of legacy + connected alumni parents and that's why the pipeline to the Ivies seems so great. And the school will get their top black kids, who also typically have accomplished parents, into the Ivies. But kids at those schools who don't have connected parents get just as shut out as at a great suburban public.

Wisdom among parents I like is that Chicago is the place to go if you want something approximating an Ivy campus environment from the 1990s-early 2000s. We're definitely keeping an eye on it for my eldest in a few years.

Amazing poast.

What are your thoughts on income mobility, a boy poaching a wealthy girl? This is much easier in high school at an Ivy Prep than it is in college, where the game is already set.

Too tired now. But basically the "rankings" are only part of the story.

Regis is a poor man's Loyola, in facilities, teachers etc. It's free after all and masks its flaws with high-testing kids that are not at all rounded. Very awk and very nerdy and very good "testers" (in a way, it seems like law school). It's designed for "smart kids" where you have to be top of class at a parochial school but I've never met anyone who went there who wasn't, for lack of a better word, a poor striver. It's not the nightmare of Stuyvesant by any means, but there are plenty of other great catholic options in the city

Yes I remember your prior poasts on this and similar topics. I think you and I might live very close to each other actually.

React to my point above re the dawning of AI etc. means that the state flagship to MC or UMC lifestyle pipeline is likely to get squeezed in the future and so while prestige whoring is probably irrational today it could become more rational in the future. I mean less the Finance/NYC tracks you seem to have in mind, and more stuff like non-programmer jobs in Tech. Being both validated by a prestigious credential and having a closer connection to the circles of decision makers will be more valuable than it was from 2006-2019. Disagree?

Disagree with some caveats. Also can't worry about the future too much. The one thing that is guaranteed is that the future is never what we expect it to be. And you have no idea what your kid will want to do. Medicine? Research? Consulting? Law? Can't plan too much in advance for his career. Or even know what career tracks will open up.

1) OP should only send a boy to a nice school. A girl is LOL

2) It's a great benefit academically (i.e. all privates are better schools), but this fades in importance compared to kid's intrinsic drive

3) Would coach boy on ways to seduce the truly elite girls from wealthy families. This is how you become elite anymore. The gender inversion and globohomo has accelerated this and made it MORE possible if kid is a genuine chad

4) If you do decide to send him to elite school, be relentless with him. Force him to hang out with people, play sports, be a chad. It's easier to be a chad at elite prep schools as well

The main reason to do this is to avoid proles and LMC, and minimize your interaction with the government. To have a better school experience and get a better education. To learn a certain mindset.

Decide how much that is worth to you. To some people it's well worth $60k. To others, it's not worth it over public school.

Don't count on it as a way to the Ivies or anything else.

OP, the kids at the boarding schools are not as rich as you are imagining. Of course some of them come from families that are donating new buildings to Ivies and whatnot, but most are not. A lot of haute UMC and lower UC people. That border between UMC and UC is really the bread and butter of these places. A substantial portion of that admissions benefit that you're seeing can be attributes to the school. And yes, there are strong relationships between many of these schools and prestigious universities.

Boarding school is an intense experience, but highly beneficial if your son can handle it. I did the boarding school to Ivy route. And yes, it was bittersweet to grind away far from home while my friends had normal high school experiences, and eventually normal college experiences. It probably screwed up my social development to some extent. But what I got in return was so great. The challenge, the learning, the connections, the breadth of experience, it was all just on another level. I don't regret it a bit, and I'd do it all over again.

Also, don't discount the benefits of being a recruited athlete at an Ivy. You're automatically one of the cool kids as part of your team, which has very real benefits in making connections and building your network. Benefits that last for many years after graduation.

How common was it for these striver kids to have divorced parents or parents in otherwise dysfunctional marriages. I think if I didn’t like my kids as much as I do boarding school would be a no brainer. My sister in law has sucky kids and I always encourage her to ship them off asap. But my oldest still really respects me and listens to me, and he would miss me and his brother a lot. Seems like the best use case for boarding school is kids who don’t really like their parents and siblings very much.

Exeter's endowment is $1.3 billion friend. Choate is like $400 million. Dalton, a very prestigious non-boarding NYC ivy, has maybe $150-200 million at most

Clearly there are other reasons to attend boarding school past not having a good family life.

A fucking high school has $1.3 billion

this is 2024. prep schools wont "place" your kid into an ivy better than your suburban high school.

thats not how that works. how it does work is that prep schools may report slightly better stats (not as good as you think) because they have there some of the few kids who were autoadmits from birth (retard billionaires like jared kushner, eg).

You definitely have to choose wisely.

These stats are troubling. I don’t know what the fuck a University of Denver is, but I am not about to pay some Rhode Island gays $50k+ per year to prep my kids for it. Sending multiple kids to that level of school means they are admitting actual dumbs and then failing at the primary mission of getting them to a good college. A smart kid would do better with no help and a moderately dumb rich kid if prepped correctly should get something like Tufts or if really dumb just cut your losses and send to state school.

We have decided that it’s not worth it. They’re $50-60k per year +5-8% increase per year. That’s just too much particularly if you have multiple kids unless you’re making something like $2M+. If you make like $500k your kids will be the poor ones. Also, many of these have become Asian striver pressure cookers.

We have our kids in good (but not elite) public and are keeping an eye on it. Teachers have ranged from ok to fantastic. Kids are 75% peers and 25% LMC. Experience has been pretty normal: school events, firefighters coming to school, field trip to local history museum. So far, so good.

Your kid’s drive means much, much more than where they go to school.

You're coping hard friend. Exeter and Choate are in no way "asian striver pressure cookers". Your kid's "drive" will stop mattering when, even if praise god he makes it into C, he simply can't access the Links/Knickerbocker and then descends into globohomohell from his lack of connections and pedigree.

It's another life altogether. A life you can't even imagine. That's worth at least 60-80k a year.

Maybe after college/grad school, but PE jobs/offers are not actually great. I work at one, and it's wage slavery. In a way, much worse than biglaw, albeit not as much blowback from bitch partners (see reason below...)

The better path involves a ton of capital that either you've received in inheritance or managed to eek out of others by your wonderful gift of gab (less likely now for reasons obvious, i.e. the "firm handshake" meme) or by forced familial ties (i.e., having a baby with significant investor's daughter). The firm I work at currently is not affiliated with either my gf or wife, but both of their parents have large investments in other firms and were admittedly instrumental in placing me here. I went to good schools but am HUwhite

Inevitably, since neither family has sons and neither wants their girls to work, I'll likely have to step up and help manage both of their funds. Which is probably why at the shop I work at now, only the head investor/partner gives me grief. The others stay away from me or try to appease me, which ultimately is the best arrangement since I'm fucking insane with generating as much AUM as possible. Fuck the law

Choate purportedly does way worse than top publics at HSPM and to get Columbia you need to be top 25% in the class. I have a good law school friend who went there with all his siblings, and he is not sending his oldest there, but will pay for Exeter or Andover if any kids get into either of those. He claims those are the only two boarding schools worth attending, ie sounds like several people ITT. I think he’s a bit over indexed/personally biased by his experience, but I do trust that his read of Choate placement into Ivies specifically is accurate.

This all makes sense to me, but the additional angle that gives me pause is the athlete piece. And admittedly 90% of my motivation is coming from my son’s private coach blowing smoke up my/his ass. But this coach has a loose set of connections to worse schools and is realistic enough to admit that there’s zero chance my kid can go to a high end P5 program. But he is even more enthusiastic than me about the prospect of him going to a nerd school where the combo of being a 2 star talent athletically and 4+ star academically with parents who can pay full tuition is very important. And I do buy into the idea that being any kind of college athlete is worthwhile and valuable socially in college and beyond ie it’s a great line at a bar when you’re in your early/mid 20s and trying to tag yourself as the top 3% of cock that she needs to be chasing hard.

All in I usually bring in around $400K a year and my wife has a government email job that is $120K but full healthcare benefits for the whole family. Our city is expensive but easily affordable with that income.

I made a thread about private school and college for our measly household of two kids and XO started SCREAMING and losing its fucking mind when I suggested I would just pay for college for them (other than the cheapest state direction school in the area).

So, no, of course not worth it. Only ENHINEERING/COMPUTA SCI-RENCE on scholarship or the single cheapest public option possible. Anything else, according to XO is financial and spiritual suicide.

Hi so back to my point. Given that a normal white kid won't get into an Ivy, is private high school the best option for him? Seems like he'd be more likely to make those connections. What's the point in an Ivy education?

all that matters these days is your network. shitlibs have succeeded in destroying meritocracy. if you think your kid will learn how to build a solid network better in public school, send them to public. if not, private

"connections" and "network" are cope words and infuriate me to no end. The only way to make it in this world anymore is to creampie as many wealthy young girls as possible when young and spread your fucking seed

Anything else is a WASTE
