i think OP's point was just about ROI from going to a certain school. Wake forest might be a great school but paying 60-65k per year to go there isn't what i would say is a good move financially. Just my personal opinion but if a person's talent and skill are kept constant, then the difference in life outcomes (financially, professionally) for that person from going to wake forest vs going to a tier 3 school which is much cheaper is probably not that great. On the other end, going to MIT could affect your life in a significant way, maybe your roomate is the next Bill Gates.

The whole point is only the ultra-rich (or woefully ignorant) are paying the full retail price for college. Very few people are paying $65K to go to Wake Forest. If they want you then they'll make it affordable for you. If they don't want you then the retail price should drive you away. If you're a sucker then they'll gladly take your money. That's the game colleges have been playing for at least the last 40 years.
