[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - we will be full pay at ivy.  We are looking at the question will ivy brand and connections be worth more over a lifetime than the nearly $200k that will be saved over 4 years at lesser school. DC is pretty laid back, so probably equally happy at either. Econ major at ivy vs business major at other school, which really does place well with their grads.  So trying to boil it down to is the ivy name and experience worth the full price tag[/quote]
Which ivy? And what other school? Hard to answer without that info.[/quote]

Ivy is HYP - not giving other school or sport sorry [/quote]

Harvard, Yale, & Princeton are still worth full tuition if not a hardship on the family. Without knowing the other school, then Harvard, Yale, or Princeton unless the business school is offering cutting edge programs involving AI/ML/special analytics options.

Also, depends upon whether or not the student has a specific career in mind. Also, majoring in business at a top business school in undergraduate school often negates the need to later earn an MBA degree whereas an econ major might benefit from an MBA after several years of post-undergraduate work experience.

If the student is ready for the academic grind, then Princeton is probably the better option between a lower ranked business school and an Ivy.

A Harvard degree is respected worldwide so full pay to Harvard may be a wise investment if no loans are required.

Again, not easy to answer without more specifics regarding desired career and the name of the business programs university.[/quote]
