    So I've been wondering... Ferrari enthusiats/owners are a rare breed, and most likely, many of us have had super educations. I'm wondering if there are more boarding school kids, or Ivy league GRADS on FChat. If you got some business schooling from Stanford, I'd say that counts too :)

    I'll start.

    The real question would be: How many went to a drive-y league school? :D

    Come on, you more than count. I kinda meant any formal education at an Ivy school. Therefore, I was meaning to include business and law school, and even clergy school if anyone went. Or is it seminary???

    Anywho, looks like it's BS 2, Ivy 2 (St. Thomas University counts as neither)

    And put in your graduation years for fun!

    De La Salle Collegiate High School for me class of 1991
    First degree from Albion College Class of 1995
    Second degree from Wayne State University class of 2003

    so it is no across the board for me. Lots of private education but no boarding school and no Ivy league.

    I thought about applying to Harvard or Yale just to see if I could get in. I was 4th in my class, had a pretty good SAT score, and would be the first in my family to attend college, but decided not to waste the money seeing how I already had my pick from every public institution in Texas.

    BS:0, Ivy:0

    But what do you mean by "Ivy"? Officially, Ivy doesn't include Stanford, MIT and some other schools that are consistently ranked Top-10.

    Public school only.
    I still don't know whether this was an advantage or a disadvantage.

    True. My HS counselor personally knew many people in the admissions office at Rice University. She said that with my grades and extra activites, all I'd have to do was take the SAT II and apply (perks of a small town school). Having my acceptance letters from A&M and UT, plus wanting to get the hell out of Houston for a while made me decline her offer. In a few years, I may contact her again to see what she can do about Rice's MBA program.
