--Ivy double grad[/quote]

Single ivy grad here, from back in the dark ages before tuition started increasing at twice the rate of inflation.  I genuinely don’t see how the education is worth the list price anymore, unless you’re swimming in money and can drop $80k a year without noticing it.  If you get a pile of aid (not loans!), then great, but otherwise no, not worth it.   I’d have done just as well at one of our state schools (SUNY) and maybe even better.  [/quote]

The fact is majority who "get into an Ivy/T25" will do "just as well at one of their state schools".  Because it's the person and their drive that matters, not the school. What you do at college matters much more than where you go.

There's a kind of person who will be top of their less-lalented class but not stretch to reach their potential, who would do better at a more demanding school.

And there are people who can't handle the stress of having more-talented peers, who would do better where they are at the top or have a more equal (lower variance) peer group. [/quote]
