Are today's students more pressured to attend top universities?

What I was saying was that an Ivy caliber student only got half tuition at a decent (UConn) state school, which is how much financial aid he would get at an Ivy. At a more reputable state school like UMich, he wouldn’t even get more than what he got at UConn, so no, Ivy caliber students can’t always find reputable publics schools giving them more aid than they would get at an Ivy.</p>
