Sucks

[Chris '03]

At least rich enough to have attended Hahvahd in the first place...

FYP.

Seriously, though.  No effort, no pressure, and all the prestige in the world for the rest of your days.  Many things, most of them unattractive, but none of them "dumb."

Hardly a "fix" as it is now easier for most people to attend Harvard than it is for them to attend Cornell, as Harvard picks up the tab for most applicants of modest means.

Looks like Harvard is cheaper even without that.  I don't know how reliable campusgrotto.com is as a source, but this is the data it compiled for October...

Total Cost: http://www.campusgrotto.com/colleges-with-the-highest-total-cost.html
Cornell #32, Harvard #112

Tuition Only: http://www.campusgrotto.com/colleges-with-the-highest-tuition.html
Cornell #63, Harvard #139

In the recent edition of Spirit, Andy Noel wrote that "Financial aid disparity in our league must be eliminated or the Ivy League as we know it will disappear."

I've long said the same thing. So far, the results don't really bear it out if you limit the view to ivy championships. Only Cornell has been particularly anomalous in the 4-5 yrs since these aid programs took off at HYP. (http://ivyleaguesports.com/documents/alltimechamps.asp). Of course, we're only just now getting to the point where full rosters are made up of athletes recruited under the backdrop of aid imbalance. I still think P and Y's sudden ascent in hockey is more than coincidence.

If this were USCHO people would start five different "Harvard Sucks" threads.

Sorry.
