@AccCreate Thanks for this in other thread
Just follow by the USNews ranking and look at the private schools.
It’s more or less the actual ranking in terms of need based aid.
Generally from my experience I noted that:
Harvard, Princeton has the best financial aid
then Yale, Columbia, Stanford, MIT
then WuStL, CalTech, Duke, UPenn, etc.
That said, overall I feel the USNews primarily ranks its privates by how good the need based aid is.
It’s honestly the one of the very few reasons I actually like the USNews undergrad rankings.
I have quite a lot about the rankings I disagree in the USNews but it does seem to be a good indicator of which private schools have good need based.
