Should I turn down Oxford for UChicago?

<p>I never accepted this false binary distinction of yours between so-called “privileged” and “non-privileged” students. Not just at UVa. Or Chicago. At ANY school. To even remotely suggest that “non-privileged” students will forever remain “non-privileged” is absurd. Many students/alums who start out “non-privileged” (because they do not have the family ties or whatever) can become “privileged” by establishing connections via networking during/after college. That’s partly why people go to college in the first place. At the very least, there exists a continuum of “privilege.”</p>

<p>Neither does the other Chicago parent. But that didn’t stop her from making the unjustified claim that when it comes to Wall Street recruiting, Chicago degrees “absolutely make a difference vis a vis” UVa degrees.</p>
