Should economic class impact decision? Forum

[TrialsOfMiles]

I know that the US hasn't adopted any type of caste system recently, but pending my Feb. LSAT scores I am turning over the idea of applying to a few T14, -HYS due to GPA.

My concern is that if accepted to some these schools, I may find myself in a role sort of similar to that of Charlie Simms à la Scent of a Woman. I don't come from money, and I am far from being a socialite. Are some T14 schools so full of blue-blood tradition that I would have a difficult enough time relating with my classmates? To the point where I shouldn't bother applying?

I know that this is probably a concern blown up by the TV/film industry and their love of showing the have-not kid succeeding in an atmosphere typically reserved for the privileged, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Anyway, if I deserve it let the trolling begin. Thanks.

Yes. You will be mocked and debased at any Ivy school. If I were you I would only apply to Berkeley and the University of Idaho...

No way man! This is America!

Every school has its blue bloods but every school has its farmers and country folk! Go to the best school you can get into and rock it!
