[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as we're talking about misleading numbers, I wouldn't equate "tuition" with "affordability," as you seem to have done. A school with a high sticker-price (tuition) isn't necessarily less "affordable" than one with a lower one, depending on the schools' aid packages. And that's before accounting for post-grad employment prospects.[/quote] Quite a leap there. The pp doesn't "equate" affordability to tuition any more than you equate "tuition" to high sticker price. Tuition is a starting point for gauging affordability for those who might be disinclined to even consider a high tuition school. I don't think many would pursue just one of two comparable schools based on a reputation for more generous aid. Instead, the strategy would be to apply to both and see what packages they offer. The basic point is simply a math fact - larger class = higher acceptance rate. There is no way to dispute the math. [/quote]
