It turns out kids at top schools are still just kids. They might have been more successful academically in high school if they’re at an Ivy, but they’re not a different species.

The ones I knew were mostly middle class or upper middle class with parents who were working professionals and were not well-connected enough to get their kid a job they weren’t qualified for, if they could help them get a job at all.
