Princeton ?

NP — I wouldn’t want my kid to go to Princeton. It’s full of elitist a-holes.

But Harvard doesn’t have any? Lol. You’re clueless

Did I say I would want my kid to go to Harvard?

Forgot Georgetown--22 in USNews but plays above its ranking. Solid brand name. My kid didn't get in but is at an Ivy; she really wanted Georgetown.

Assume that the student is undecided regarding major and career.

Nope. Not gonna play. It’s a silly game until you know where you’re accepted to.

Nope. You should play because it should affect where you apply. You don't want your kid to fall in love with a place, get accepted, and then you realize "I don't want to pay full price, oops".

Based on prestige & job placements, most parents whom I know would pay full price for Georgetown University.

I am the OP.

Would pay full price (including $30,000 in student loans) for almost all top 25 National Universities and about 6 or 7 LACs/SLACs. Of course, depends upon the particular student's interests.

If limited to naming 25 colleges and universities for which I would pay full price (incl. $30,000 in student loans) for an undecided major (non-engineering as that major / area of study requires a serious commitment from one's first semester of college) :

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, U Penn, Columbia, Chicago, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Brown, Dartmouth, Georgetown, Duke, Cornell, WashUStL, Johns Hopkins, and Rice.

Williams College, Claremont McKenna College, Amherst College, Middlebury College, Swarthmore College, Pomona College & Davidson College.

My choices are in line with US News rankings. Surrounded by brilliant, motivated students at a school with a healthy endowment.

Also, would have no problem paying resident price for several public National Universities.
