[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how do most people evaluate the “value” comparison in situations like this? [b]We can afford the full pay,[/b] but we aren’t rich. full pay is an ivy, 50% scholarship at a school in T25-50 range [/quote] Then do it. Ivies and similar-level private schools open far more doors than T25-50, as well as have a peer group that will push your student. Fewer than 50% are full pay at ivies; there are plenty of kids on pell grants, diverse backgrounds etc. The common ground of all but the most hooked is that they are top1-2% as far as intelligence, creativity, ambition, and more. Combine that with the best faculty in multiple different areas, who care about students and make room for them in research. To get to study in that environment is worth the $ if you can afford it with minimal or no loans. When you have one at an ivy and one at a T40ish private, the differences are night and day. [/quote]
