Edward Fiske Reveals His "Budget Ivy League" List

<p>Last year, the highest GPA female in the class went to Miami. She’s in the Honor’s program and is a cheerleader. She loves it. She’ll apply to law school and obviously, she’ll get in. I’m sure she could have gone about anywhere…but she comes from a close-knit family of 4 kids…affluent, but not super rich. The rest of the kids in the family are also in school at the same time. One is at Butler playing football. One is at Purdue playing baseball. One graduated a couple of years ago from IU. All amazing kids, but again…too affluent to qualify for money at an Ivy…not to mention…very family oriented and wanting to stay close to home and eachother. You can hate on the way suburban midwesterners think all you want. But our choices are perfectly rational.</p>
