<p>I agree; I don’t think that merely adding on the rest of the Ivies and the very top LAC’s is going to further what Dad II needs to do to best serve his son and expand his thinking.</p>
<p>Dad II, would you ever consider, say, a UPitt for your son if the money were right? It doesn’t have the name recognition of HYP but plenty of people do quite well coming out of there. The UPitt grad that I know has two homes that together total $5 million, if that makes you feel better, and was able to send his own kids to top 20 schools without breaking a sweat :-).</p>
