[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No - I think the media underreports the fact that the tip top schools have the most money to give. Our schools has plenty of middle class families and the ivies are generally a cheaper option than our state school.  And def cheaper than the SLACS they got into.

I know one kid turning down Dartmouth for full ride at Duke, but that feels like splitting hairs. Not really about “turning down Ivy” but more “taking better deal at even higher ranked school”[/quote]

I guess. We don’t have a lot of full rides at our state u and I’ve found donut hole families (making 250k) just say, what the hell, and pay the 350 for take over the 200k for state u.   The delta isn’t enough to stop them. [/quote]
More typically $350k vs. $120k. [/quote]

you live in a state that's cheaper than mine! but these are people who also buy pricey houses and nice cars. really, the 200k over 4 years is not the end all when you're an empty nester making 250k and salary is still rising[/quote]

You make a lot of assumptions there.[/quote]
