<p>Again, it was a long time ago, but when I was at an Ivy, the fencing coach was eager to sign up anybody who was interested in trying the sport.</p>

<p>Hawkette, I don't know where you got your data from, but i know U-Florida's SAT score you listed is low. This data in the link below from 2 years ago and says UF's SAT is 1260 exactly equal to Illinois and Wisconsin, and UF's SAT has gone up at least 20 points since 2006.</p>

<p>When I saw the title of this thread, first thing I thought of Trinity, then Rollins....when you get into the whole business of "old" vs "new" money the equation gets alot more complicated because as Mini said, admissions are so different from the way they were in my college days (70's) and my parents'. (Ivy and Seven Sisters '30's)</p>
<p>What would you guys say are the rich "new money" schools? I can only think of NYU and Emory.</p>
<p>Rollins-a woman I know sent her daughter here to "find a rich husband".

<p>Oxford. No questions.</p>
<p>University of Richmond...............bring the martini shaker!</p>
<p>My vote for a group of similar schools with the highest concentration of rich kids is not the Ives, which through their huge endowments have provided lots of money for plenty of middle-class (and below) students, but rather their small-college counterparts - the schools of the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Association): Amherst, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Connecticut, Hamilton, Middlebury, Trinity, Tufts, Wesleyan and Williams. Demographically, the NESCAC colleges look a lot like the Ivies did 40 or 50 years ago; lots of white boarding-school kids from the Northeast, and public or private day school kids from the most affluent suburbs of Boston, New York, Phila., and D.C. While these kids may not have Harvard or Yale level SAT scores (though at Amherst and Williams, many do), they are probably more likely to have a summer house on the Vineyard.</p>
<p>I saw a place called Salve Regina that last week that seemed to ooze $$$...</p>
<p>"Surveys also suggest UF (Florida) has also been losing economic diversity. The median family income of UF freshman rose from about $72,500 in 1996 to $102,500 in 2006, the most recent year in which a survey for student financial affairs was done." </p>
<p>Adjusted geographically, and this equates to ~135K in the northeast or West coast.</p>
<p>Princeton for sure. My uncle is an alumnus and he said he was apalled at how many rich kids were there that were clearly not their based on academic merit or extracurricular excellence. However, he made a lot of great connections, was a Rhodes scholar and got an MBA from Harvard because of his friends, experience and credentials that resulted from Princeton. But he was also from money but just a small town in the least-populated state of America. His SATs were both in the 500s and he got in, granted this is from the 80's haha.</p>
<p>Well, are there any schools out there anymore that aren't need-blind in admssions? 'Cause that's a heckuva place for a rich kid to at least apply to.</p>
<p>back to when people were talking about sports....i like to think of rich people sports as the ones that are sponsored by companies such a ROLEX.
E.g. Sailing, Golf, Equestrian, Polo, Tennis
haha
those kinda sports are things that rich people do because they are very expensive to practice as well as get the necessary equipment
so i would look for schools that have big programs in those sports</p>
