I asked this b4 as less pedigree schools have cut their tuitions to real world values in order to generate more revenue, sometimes to survive.
Most felt opposite - there’s an allure of quality or exclusivity if your list price is higher.
I don’t necessarily agree but the preponderance of comments backed that vs simply pricing real world.
My analogy was if I have a house budget of $500k, I’m not looking at $600k. They’re not in the consideration set. Others said - but you could get it there.
