[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Within the Ivies, not sure about Brown and Cornell. Also rule out WashU and Northwestern. Duke and Stanford are definitely worth the money. But to pay 350-400k for 4 years at a selective LAC in the middle of nowhere no thanks. Williams is the exception because of its brand and yes Holy Cross has the connections to corporate boards but lacks the prestige of a Williams. Otherwise it’s hard to pass on large state universities at a fraction of the cost. Loads of full pay kids going to SEC and Big Ten schools.

This is a perfect example of what makes these conversations comical. The Ivies aren't a monolith but why Brown and Cornell? Because you don't like the color and the other is large? Duke and Stanford as adds. Stanford has always been elite but if you go back only 20 yeas Duke was an excellent Southern school but really only known because of Basketball outside to the South.
Williams because of the brand? What nonsense; most people don't know any of the SLACs so there is no brand value to the wider public. Among those who know Williams (and yes, they are the people who actually matter for anything important in ones school/career life) they also know Swat, Amherst, Bowdoin, Middlebury, Pomona, Carleton, etc. and do not differentiate among them at all because it is the education that is superior not any particular SLAC.

Loads of full pay kids go to SEC schools because they want to live the greek life, not because they want to be educated.[/quote]
