So, I guess the Ivies are less about education and learning than the lifelong contacts one makes. That's probably worth the $50,000/year price tag ?? ( just asking ).

Compare the number of times someone from an Ivy League college says something like "I learned more about supply and demand curves than someone from a public university" versus "I had classes with/roomed with/was a fellow alumnus with X which helped me get a job at Y."

I know the Ivies also give some 100% to poorer students, but I wonder if they are kept out of that most important part of their private college experience.

Well, according to Michelle Obama's thesis, I would think so. Otherwise she wouldn't be so angry about it.
