Most of these would be "worth" it (probably not Fordham, NYU, or Sarah Lawrence, but the others). This has been discussed ad nauseum before, but college isn't just about getting a great education (which the schools on that list, and many others, obviously afford) - it's also about connections, recruiting, alumni influence, etc. So if you're going to be an artist, maybe you don't spend the $$. But if you have no clue what you want to do, these schools (and the ones that are generally ranked in the top 10 of the US News, although several on this list are overlapping with the US News list) open up doors for kids that other schools just don't. How can anyone deny that? And if this weren't the case, Harvard (which, shockingly, is not on this list - must be #11) et al wouldn't have such insanely low acceptance rates, because *no one would think it was worthwhile* to apply.[/quote]
