[quote=Anonymous]To us, schools with the greatest proportion of high-achieving, intellectually top 1% and most driven students were what we sought. That list was about 23-24: 18 ivy and close to ivy unis, and 5-6 top lacs.
 In addition, we wanted schools which open all the doors to the most elite jobs as well as all tip-top MD, phD, JD programs. The latter list has been studied by many and coined ivy-plus: all 8 ivies plus Stanford MIT Duke and UChicago. 
The dream was one of the 12, the good-enough was one of the 23. We have two attending ivies and the third is almost certain to get into one of the 23. 
It has been well worth the 88-93k per year for each so far. 
These schools happen to offer the best aid, such that families below 300k HHI often get at least some discount, and below 200k hefty discounts. Fewer than 45% pay full price and that % is dropping every year at our ivies, but the schools remain worthy of every penny. It has nothing to do with dorms or food, it is about doors opened, top peers, and endless opportunities (often funded).[/quote]
