- You are warping my intent. You don't go to an Ivy League school just so you can make a lot of money. There is a value in being educated. 1-18-2018 2:35pm

- IMO, it’s not. But those kids and families in both cases are hoping to get more out of the experience than just education. They want the connections. 1-18-2018 2:45pm
- Or just (one of) the best there is. Which is a perfectly fine reason. If you can afford it, and your kid can get in, why teh F not? 1-18-2018 2:46pm
