[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poiint of this thread, why would one pay Harvard, Duke, Stanford sticker prices for the likes of BC, BU, or Northeastern. Tufts does have a good reputation. The other 3 Boston schools remade themselvrs in last 25/30 years but there is no alumni depth like Tufts.[/quote]

Because we are rich and it’s NBD.  [/quote]

My kid got $42K/year at Case (a few years ago), but chose a "similar school" for $85-90K/year.  They know 99% of kids wouldn't have a choice and would be attending Case.  But we let them choose the better fit for them, they are thriving and it was the right choice.  But we have it saved and it's NBD to us.

We are “rich” too (DH is a BigLaw partner) but we still make value judgments on how we spend our money and don’t waste on things we don’t think are worth it. It’s still subjective. We are also seeking a school with a range of socioeconomic levels and looking to avoid the rich kid/poor kid dynamic that’s present at schools that meet need but don’t give merit.[/quote]
