It's because of lack of other options, such as a gap year and travel. My younger daughter is applying to grad school (MBA) and the competition at the top schools is by far the most intense in history. For grad students, of course, unemployment is another driver. Having an Ivy degree is seen as protection from long term unemployment and a worthy investment. And it is.
