PP, must respectfully disagree.  Top colleges (except perhaps U Chicago) grade on a dramatically easier basis than middle-level colleges, and top colleges typically don't release student rank.  Everybody leaves Harvard with at least a B+/A- average.  Everybody at Yale gets into some relatively decent law school.  A[b]nd the top colleges essentially offer free or nominal tuition to most undergrads.  [/b]We've seen it directly and experienced it.  Colleges below the top tier are really taking advantage of their students and providing no value of any kind.

What are you talking about? The Ivy League schools provide only need based aid, no merit aid or athletic scholarships.  I know plenty of people paying full tuition at Ivy League schools and at other colleges.[/quote]

+1. The Ivies don't offer any merit aid or athletic scholarships. It's possible Stanford and Chicago offer non-need-based aid, but I don't know. There are a few highly selective schools like Cal Tech, Cooper Union and the Curtis Institute that cover nearly all expenses, but unless your kid wants to focus almost exclusively on Science, Art or Music, respectively, these three won't be attractive.[/quote]
