I used to work for a college and understand how what colleges call "enrollment management" works. I told my kids to sell their grades and SAT scores and go to the school that would give them the most money. All got decent educations with minimal debt and all went on to graduate school no matter what college they graduated from. I don't know if it is the egos of parents that want their kids to go to schools that wouldn't have taken the parents on a bet 25 years ago or something else. If it isn't a Ivy school is just isn't worth going into a lot of debt.
