[quote=Anonymous]You want to hear an economist's take on the value of private (high) schooling? It's all about signaling. Colleges now have separate admissions and financial aid departments. Admissions decisions are supposed to be "need blind," which is why the admissions departments don't see the financial need information on an application. This obviously isn't ideal from a university perspective. The admissions folks can get an idea of (a lack of) financial need by seeing a private school on the application. It's one of the easiest thing they can do to help the university without running afoul of "need blind" considerations. Yes, I belive this is bradly accurate. [/quote]
