Answer 2

Interesting question. But certainly the hardest schools to get into is SO EXCLUSIVE that finding out its name would be virtually impossible. The children of billionaires and middle eastern sheiks, "royalty" and Japanese industrialists go to schools that you won't ever see named. The merely rich go to Harvard and Yale.
