Where are Rice and Amherst?[/quote]

Correct you are I somehow forgot Rice. Amherst was not included because the source data did not include LACs. With Rice it's now:

Very surprised that there's a big gap between Princeton and Harvard. How large is the gap?[/quote]

It's somewhat sizable considering Harvard bombed on Forbes and Degree Choices. Without those two debacles, Harvard would probably be above Princeton.[/quote]

When I ran the aid calculator, Princeton gave us twice as much as Harvard. Maybe it offers much better aid overall than Harvard and is usually a better value. [/quote]

+1 Princeton is known for giving phenomenal aid, which probably helps it a lot in the rankings[/quote]
