I have read that most Ivy League schools have foundations flush with cash...making the dream of enrolling a real chance.

That is true to an extent. They have a policy called 'need blind' admissions. They determine how much of the $70K price tag you can afford. Problem is, in their opinion, if the family makes around $125K a year, you can afford the entire thing. If the family makes less, they may not charge at all. That is not a high threshold. What sucks about it is that their endowments are so large that they really don't need tuition. The endowments are growing faster than the cost of giving everyone free tuition. Why do they charge tuition? Because they are a bunch of leftists. (Last line is my observation.)
