I think you're wrong Bern700. It all depends on how you define "rich". I go to a boarding school, which tend to have the same false "everyone is rich" stigma as the Ivies and elite privates. Yet, everyone in my school is not rich, many are on financial aid, and boarding schools tend to be at least as, if not more economically homogenus than top colleges. Even those who don't recieve aid are not all of the type who go to Swiss chalets for the weekend (though of course people like this do exist, they just don't represent the norm). Similarly, the average kid at Penn does NOT come from a family which owns a private jet. Sure, there are rich people, like at any school that charges $40,000 a year, but it's not everyone or even most people.
