I was not part of the earlier discussion. I was just chiming in. Ivies are great for grad school, no question about it. Unlimited research budgets, some of the best professionals in the country to work alongside with, and of course, yes, very prestigious names.

However, for undgrad, you can do MUCH, MUCH better for your kid than the ivies, and no, I am not talking about Maryland, Flordia, or Syracuse.
