[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s also no way of knowing if a person who is “successful” (again by some subjective measure you decide is meritorious) can attribute that solely due to where they decided to attend college. There are too many complex interacting factors to determine this.[/quote]

It’s not ethical to promote “exclusivity” by raising prices and selling the illusion that the investment guarantees better outcomes. Still haven't seen the rational explanation on why this price tag[/quote]

What’s it to you?
Do you think of people who are paying full freight are doing it to “guarantee” a better outcome?

My, your world looks small and dark.[/quote]

For mc or umc families, that's the expectation.

You don't live in my world (thanks god!) but why don't you explain people pay full freight if you have better explanation[/quote]

What expectation? 
We are MC. No, it wouldn’t be “worth it” to pay 90k a year, because that would mean having to sell my home and move to a crappy apartment.
DC will attend a 90+k school but we are not paying near that much. That is what financial aid and merit aid are for. But if I did make much more money, it would be worth it to me to pay the 90k.
I do not know of any truly MC people making extreme sacrifices to pay 90k a year for their kid’s college. Do you?[/quote]

That's awesome you get fin aid. Like said, I am not interested in how other people send money. I am just curious why it costs 90K+ (for any private). If other countries can provide good quality higher education for lower cost, why can't we.[/quote]

There are many good quality institutions that do not cost 90k even as a sticker price. They may not have as shiny of facilities or name recognition, but you can still get a quality education for far less than 90k a year. So why do you care that some college sticker price is 90k, especially since most students don’t pay that much anyway?

The one school I do roll my eyes at is High Point. But even that school is probably “worth it” to some middling kid from a rich family who wants to have a nice college experience.[/quote]
