Seems legit. Nothing to see here.

Every time someone on this site talks about how "elite" Jesuit, Episcopal, CHS, etc. is, I laugh because I think of PE and that school makes any private school in LA look like a BR public school.

ETA: For those downvoting, I went to CHS and can admit that it's dogshit compared to PE.

My first thought was money laundering. I guess I'm too cynical.

i.e. get 10 million in cash from dealing meth and oxy, use the best strategy to play the lottery and walk away with 6 million clean.

You are comparing apples and oranges. Phillips (Exeter or Andover) are big private boarding schools with billion dollar endowments. They have unreal resources. But their success is mainly due to who applies and whom are selected. Those endowments were built by accepting the Bush's and other super rich people.

Eventually, the endowments were so large that they could accept smart middle class folks. The main advantage to going there is the contacts one would make. Your classmates are either super smart or super rich and connected.

I have a son-in-law who went to Phillips Andover. He was a legacy, but was the only one of five siblings who was admitted. He's a great young man. Nicest guy you'll ever meet.

Dr Nanda, former head of neurosurgery at LSUHSC Shreveport, had two children who went to one of the eastern prep schools. The average Louisiana private school kid doesn't fit the demographic. But some can and do qualify.
