> An Ivy League degree is expensive, but the value may not add up to the expense. Try Georgia Tech, not MIT. Try University of Washington, not Harvard. Use your own judgement here.
If you're poor however, reverse this. UW or Georgia Tech will maybe give you enough aid to cover half the tuition.
Harvard and MIT will give you a full ride plus money for a return flight home and extra spending money each semester, all before you get a work-study job.
This is one of the greatest equalizers of income disparity available in America and I'm very glad to be able to take advantage of it.
