Mostly artificial ones though.   Who gripes most about increasing the student population of elite private universities?   Alumni.  That’s who.  Protecting their exclusive club.  Harvard and Yale etc have more than enough endowment to acquire and build on more space.  Stanford has more than 8,000 acres, for about 7,000 undergrads.  Whatever capacity constraints they claim to have ring pretty hollow to me. [/quote]

This exclusivity BS is all in your head. [b]You don't need to go to Harvard, Yale, or Stanford for any reason whatsoever.[/b][/quote]

OP, you do not have faith in your child to do well, no matter where they are enrolled in college?  That is on you as a parent, that is your failure.

DP, my kid will crush it wherever he goes. But don't pretend that the resources and networking available at these schools is the same elsewhere.

It's a closed system FTMP which is not good for any real progress.[/quote]
