Yeah, and their financial aid goes pretty far. I remember when I applied maybe 10 years ago or so, it would have cost around $5k/yr or even less. Coming from a middle-class family in the Midwest. They seem to make it possible for anyone to afford to go there. (They’re just very selective about who can.) So I would never say they’re overpriced or expensive. Maybe it costs a lot if you come from a rich family, but for them, the price doesn’t matter. And for those of us who aren’t rich, it wouldn’t be expensive. This is very abnormal for non-elite private schools. If I’d gotten in to any of the elite schools, I think they would have been the cheapest options by far… even compared to state schools.
