[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how do most people evaluate the “value” comparison in situations like this? We can afford the full pay, but we aren’t rich. full pay is an ivy, 50% scholarship at a school in T25-50 range [/quote]

Back in the day, I had a choice between full pay at a T5 law school and a full ride at my state flagship law school.  I chose the T5 school, even though the cost wasn't going to be easy.  While one never knows for sure how life will turn out, I am quite certain I would never have had the same career opportunities or career earnings that I've enjoyed if I had chosen the state school.  So if this were my kid, I'd say go with the Ivy.[/quote]

That's different. 100% go to the T5 law school because you can get a high paying job to pay back the loans quickly.

[b]OP's kid is looking at an econ major. That's more of a gray area in terms of getting a higher paying job than you could with an econ degree from a top 25-50.[/b][/quote]

A closer reading of OP's posts in this thread show that OP's child would major in econ at an Ivy, but major in business at the mystery school ranked among the Top 25 to Top 50.[/quote]
