Money well spent IF you get in.
Where America’s elites are formed.
It’s a ticket to the bigtime.
Everybody from MooseChelle Obama and Algore to Ted Cruz and Charlie Krauthammer.

Grove City or Hillsdale are far preferable, put your money there.

How much more does it cost for just the diploma of choice?

Even if they gave him a scholarship?

None. I prefer my child receives a college level education and not just hope they make friends that can later be used for financial contacts. Few from Harvard do that and the rest end up owing a boatload of money and hoping to work in Manhattan to pay back Harvard’s ridiculous costs.

With the double standard where minorities and other niche applicants to fill quotas have a much lower standard to be met for the elite schools, Caucasians who aren't children of grads have to maximize their potential to be accepted.
Those parents didn't write the ridiculous affirmative action/diversity rules, so I don't fault them for playing by them.
(yes, almost any Math SAT under 600 can be raised substantially with a really good prepper)

Yes! Of course any kid of mine would not want to go to Harvard. So they would not have applied for a scholarship. I heard from people in the know that it is much harder to get into those types of school than it is to stay there. So if you have a late bloomer, they may be bored at Harvard depending on the subject matter. It's all name a prestige.
The law school for instance, if you are not going to practice in NYC, DC, Boston, LA. No one really gives a rip about Harvard. Save the money and go to a good state school it the same material minus the cost. Most of the “professors” at Harvard type schools do not teach, they write books. Grad students teach. Why pay 50 grand a year for that?

If my child was going for a non STEM major, I would avoid Harvard like the plague.

Two of my friend’s sons went to Purdue and studied engineering. Both of them got good jobs right out of school.

Well, even today, a degree from Harvard opens a lot of doors. But, with all the insanity we hear about what goes on at Ivy League schools and gets passed off as education, and the cost associated with same, I wouldn’t pay a damn dime.

re:Purdue
So did my daughter, but that’s not the goal of these folks.
It’s all about running peoples lives.
That’s what Harvard grads do.

I’d pay the same amount I paid for my two to go to state universities. Maybe less.

Harvard would have to offer me a truck load of money to send my kids to that liberal indoctrination camp
