[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it’s surprising or newsworthy or forward-thinking to suggest that $200k families don’t/wont/can’t pay $400k for Villanova or Tulane? [/quote] Yes, because just a year ago those schools didn’t cost entirely that much. Tipping point reached.[/quote] Yes. Also test-optional makes these schools much less attractive. It’s one thing to stretch, financially, when telling yourself that your kid will be among his intellectual peers. Iron sharpens iron and all that. But if only 15% of students are reporting scores … what are you paying for, again? You can get a mix of students, including some very strong ones, at the flagship. [/quote]
