But almost all top schools have needs-blind admissions which means that if you get in, they will provide the financial aid that you need if you can't afford it. So it's actually very unlikely someone gets into a top school but then decides it's not worth the money (assuming the school is worth the money, which it is, and the only issue is whether they can afford it right now).

- swatow 12y agoI understand, but it still greatly ameliorates the problem, to the point where cost is no longer the main issue when going to a top school (again, assuming you have the money now). The long term payoff is certainly worth it.
- beisner 12y agoThey can differ, but they are usually extremely generous. I know loads of people who pay less for Princeton, Harvard, and MIT than they would for state school.
