Good points, JDP. As a parent of a recent Princeton graduate, I can attest to the University's incredible Financial Aid program. Paid a lot less for child to attend Princeton than would have paid to attend Rutgers as state residents. Child #1 attended a high ranking non-Ivy private school--received a very nice merit-based package but nowhere near Princeton's need-based package for child #2. And Princeton's package just gets better and better every year. I'm sure FA is a HUGE selling point to recruited athletes. (I actually didn't know that aid wasn't reduced 1:1 with student income until I ran the numbers on the on-line FA estimator).
