That is so interesting that you'd say that, and you're absolutely right once I think about it. My bio sister went to a "verrrrrrry important prep school" (
) in our native Pennsylvania and the kids from her graduating class who went to places like Penn State, Maryland or the inexplicably popular University of New Hampshire were considered by most parties to be academic has-beens. Even though all of those places are actually pretty good schools.
The glaring exception would be UVA, though. Maybe because it's in the south? Or because it's so darn hard to get into?
