and ALOT, if not ALL ivy league schools these days are using a BIG chunk of their endowments to give FULL RIDE scholarships to need based students. sure, you've got the prep school kids who's parents can afford to pay, but the ivy leagues figured out something a LONG time ago: those kids who CAN'T afford to go to school, but SHOULD are THE BEST students. they work harder for that degree b/c they have their entire futures to lose by NOT doing so. those rich kids tend to have mommy and daddy saving their asses all the damn time, so who cares? not the ivies! lol. they figured out a long time ago that those types are a dime a dozen and they'll get their money from them b/c it makes their families look good. doesn't hurt that it keeps the ivies in business. but by the ivies affording the kids who don't have the money for school, the opportunity to go to school and not pay a dime for it, and get the best education in the world to boot, is a good thing. knock the ivies all you want, but until the state and fed govt start putting their money where their mouth is in education, the ivies will kick butt EVERY time!
