re: Would you fund your kid's IVY league education if you could?

I had a full ride at UT-Austin since I was valedictorian and had excellent SAT scores. When I got in at Rice, my parents sucked it up and paid (I did have some scholarships but not for the full freight). It has certainly opened up doors.

If the parents can swing it, fund the kid at the best school he can get into. It will pay off. Leave politics aside.
