[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can dcum name some schools that are worth paying $280k?  Should students not apply ED?[/quote]

If you're asking in terms of potential career salaries...HYPSM, Chicago, Wharton, Caltech, Columbia, Duke.  These schools are recruited heavily by employers and have pull for graduate schools.   And I would include NU in that mix.  Their national presence may not be deemed by some as not quite as broad but their presence in a major business center is significant.

And the rest of the top 30 or so where your kid can get a job anywhere and go to any grad school. The people who say it’s a waste of money are often ignorant and use individual stories to refute the reality that outside of rich white men elite colleges makes huge difference in your lifetime of opportunities.  It’s really hard to be unsuccessful coming out of a top 30 school even if you are at the bottom of the class. You probably will graduate with a network that will ensure that you are gainfully employed for your working years. [/quote]
When you say top 30 are you including SLACs?  They are often ranked separately and I am never sure where a school like Bryn Mawr or Haverford would rank  compared to a national university [/quote]
