[quote=Anonymous]"The fixation on the Ivy's on this forum is ridiculous. They don't have good value for the money." The fixation is ridiculous but the value of Ivies is better than we would have guessed. Our state school is good enough so that no one "needs" to go anywhere better. Value wise, for Ivy level students they offer enough merit aid so that no school can compete. But the Ivy's large endowments allowed them to provide us with financial aid that allowed them to match the prices of the top tier of out of state flagships and beat out the "need only" private schools. Yes, our in-state flagship was better value (as well as certain "safety flagships) but in ranked value order the Ivy's were next. This is despite a HHI of $250k and enough non-retirement investments to just write the $300k check.[/quote]
