[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of rich kids at all the top schools. Who do you think is making the donations and paying full freight?

It's the tradeoff.[/quote]

That doesn't matter at all at the better schools with their multi-billion dollar endowments.

More important for them is getting the best students who are likely to become influential and prominent two decades later. Princeton etc doesn't give a damn about your full pay tuition check. It funds the coffee, maybe. Meanwhile, getting that brilliant middle class student on aid gets them a $100 million donation twenty years later.

It's only the very middling private schools that need the full pay money to get through the year.  [/quote]

This is a question of preference. My Ivy and T20 kids didn't even apply to Princeton. Wrong vibe for us.
But I went to a T10 and to a top law school. Same with my spouse. 
The college isn't going to determine all that much for our kids.
I'd rather they be happy. Social happiness is just as important as academic happiness.[/quote]
