[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a list for asset-rich families with education trusts, where the kids are educated at expensive private schools from pre-school through graduate school. This list is appealing to a certain class of families.

Literally, the list is meant to assuage rich people that they made the right choices for their kids by overpaying for USC, Wash U, Vandy, Duke, and JHU liberal arts and "business" degrees. [/quote]

Maybe except for Duke, most of these schools have pretty mediocre career outcomes. The wealthy thrive on connections and financial security. But for those on financial aid or lower middle class families, going to these overpriced schools don’t really add much value to their career prospects as opposed to going to a public school...

Georgetown released it's  20 year ROI analysis of colleges in America, all of the schools you mentioned and a few others like Emory do very well and have better ROI than most public schools. 
Here's the link

For example USC's 20 year ROI is $690,000 vs UCLAs $618,000.

I looked up the stats for Georgia, Georgia Tech has a higher ROI than Emory. That's if you want to study STEM, of course. Still a better deal than going to UGA.[/quote]
Gatech grads are engineers... Emory doesn't have that. If Gatech wasn't higher, it would be embarrassing for them. [/quote]
