[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reconceptualize it.  Consider yourself not a sucker, but as privileged family that can afford to pay sticker price.[/quote]

Agree with this.[/quote]

And whose kid is likely to have a broader range of high-status options than kids with the same stats whose parents can’t afford full pay.[/quote]

+1  I had a moment when I thought about the hefty bill and compared it to what others pay or what we might have paid elsewhere.  But it's not just the quality of education to consider.  Worth every dollar!  Overall school reputation, and for the field they decide to start their careers in, opens many doors.  And I don't mean Ivy vs non-Ivy.  My DC and university friends all landed interesting, high paying jobs.  They are all capable, smart kids but there are lots of capable, smart kids everywhere.   DC is very privileged that we are first able to pay and second that his parents made the choice to pay abet for other reasons  I was rather naive about school reputation; my eyes are wide open now.  There is nothing fair about it for kids who can't afford it but I'm glad life circumstances worked in DC's favor. [/quote]
