[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“WASP” has never been heard of. What is that?[/quote]

Yeah, why these four and not another set of four or a combination of a few of these with others? And why P which is all the way on the west coast whereas the 'WAS' are east and even that S is not in New England. Explanation anyone??[/quote]

Endowment size, no other reason.[/quote]
So they’re able to offer more to their students? Seems like a pretty valid reason to put them together.[/quote]
Quite the opposite. They hoard their money. Look at institutions like Wesleyan which offer a lot more academic centers, departments, opportunities, with a lot less money. A lot of these schools' funds are going to excessive financial aid and administrative desires over the college itself.[/quote]"excessive financial aid" is a good thing.[/quote]
I'd prefer more funding for professorships and academic centers for research. Research shows poorer students do better at institutions designed for the underprivileged and teaching state schools (look at the cal states). You could slash financial aid, get the same (or even stronger) cohort of students and give those students more educational opportunities.[/quote]
