Has the time of the public ivy passed?

Great list, but I wasn’t aiming at top 50 for her. Still we were looking at difficult majors, the kind of majors where students get in trouble with graduating in 4 years (engineering, for example).

I am well aware it is a problem in some privates; some low ranking private LAC are among the worst for students losing their way (at high cost). This is a bit off topic and premature for my family, but I will return to it someday.
