The OP didn’t state that his parents were familiar with Midd or Bowdoin. Or if they are, it’s very possible that they’re not knowledgable enough about the quality of the education at either college to make an educated comparison to the Ivies.
I’ve known parents who did not qualify for aid but would not pay full price for any college other than an Ivy, M.I.T, Stanford, etc. In other words, the parents would only pay full price for perceived prestige. The fact that the education at many LACs and universities is equivalent to the Ivies, etc. did not enter into the equation.
