[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The eight Ivies have a better return on investment than many other nonprofit four-year colleges, Bloomberg reported on Friday. The elite institutions have a typical 10-year ROI of $265,500, an analysis by the outlet shows. That’s twice the return of 63 “Hidden Ivies”—other top private colleges—and almost three times the median of all other schools included in Bloomberg’s research.

To get these numbers, Bloomberg used data from Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce. Notably, it doesn’t include students who paid full price to attend school. Rather, the data encompass those who got some financial aid from their university. For that group, the average Ivy alum earns $90,500 a year, according to Bloomberg, while those who went to a Hidden Ivy earn $72,600 a year. Plus, Ivy grads paid 18 percent less than Hidden Ivy grads.

Well, of course. If you are low SES and  your kid is Ivy material, go for it! But for most of us NW-dwelling DCUMs, it’s a different calculation. [/quote]

Is there any evidence to support the assertion that most posters here are full pay? Thread noise would make you think that, but it seems statistically improbable.[/quote]
It's definitely an expectation by commenters here. A lot of protesting an argument as a priviliged/wealthy person take with little proof or really any reason for assuming someone is wealthy. I do think the types of institutions and college concerns discussed on DCUM are by majority wealthy families. Your average family doesn't have a college list with Williams on it.[/quote]
