About This Quiz
Eton College was founded by Henry VI, and attended by Princes William and Harry. Those facts alone would mark it out as the poshest boys school in the world. Still, in case anyone objects, they should be reminded of the 20 British Prime Ministers who went there, and enough powerful Old Etonians to populate The Portland Club for 10 generations. It used to be a closed circle of "people like us," but, along with the rest of Britain, it has realized that being well off does not mean being intelligent, and staying on top means being smart.
You can’t buy your way in anymore; you have to be able to make the grades. Eton has realized that if it is to remain a premier school in today’s world, posh idiots aren’t going to cut it — and if you’re willing to go global, there are plenty of clever boys who are also rich. Additionally, the school is in the process of raising funds to become needs-blind, meaning that they will be able to select pupils based purely on academic or other potential. Going forward, Eton will produce the Dominic Wests, Stephen Wolframs, and sadly, Boris Johnsons of the rest of the world. Still, the question remains, do you have what it takes to survive at the world's most elite all-boys school?
