[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What luster?  It's another overpriced school in a bad city with questionable admission practices...unless you are rankings/prestige obsessed or can write checks for 320k it's not worth it.[/quote]

Please share examples of schools: 
*that are well-priced
*in a good city
*with great admission practices[/quote]

UMass Boston
Catholic U with merit
University of Central Florida
UMCP (easy train to DC)
UW-Seattle if you get WA residency 
Pitt with merit
CUNY schools[/quote]

Please note that Harvard, Yale & Princeton have rather robust need-based tuition reduction programs.

The universities you have highlighted are public [except Catholic U] unlike the Ivy League (except for Cornell which has some public colleges):

1) UMass Boston 
a) costs about $160,000 over 4 years out-of-state
b) in the great city of Boston
c) has excellent admission practices

2) University of Central Florida 
a) which is about $140,000 over 4 years out-of-state
b) in the great city of Orlando
c) has excellent admission practices

3) UMCP 
a) which is over $200,000 over 4 years out-of-state
b) in the great city of College Park
c) has excellent admission practices [unless you are in-state applicant]

4) CUNY 
a) which is about $140,000 over 4 years out-of-state
b) in the great city of New York
c) has excellent admission practices

5) Pitt 
a) which is about $200,000 over 4 years out-of-state [before merit scholarship considerations]
b) in the great city of Pittsburg
c) has excellent admission practices

6) Catholic U 
a) which is about $280,000 over 4 years out-of-state [before merit scholarship considerations]
b) in the great city of Washington
c) has excellent admission practices

Not exactly affordable options.
