Quotes from the video:
What's the criteria you use to rank schools?
Alumni giving rates, graduation rates, admission rates and we divided that by the net price that students actually paid, not the sticker price on the website, it turns out yale university came out on top, even though they have a sticker price of $53,000, that's because they're so generous with financial aid that 54% of students don't pay that big sticker price , they get financial aid and the average price paid by that 54% was about $14,000.
Harvard is on the list, the initial price to go to Harvard is about $55,000, that's the sticker price.
Schools like Harvard , Princeton and Yale are starting to charge on a sliding scale. so for example at Harvard , if you come from a family that earns less than $60,000, you're going to get basically a full ride. If you come from a family that earns between $60,000 and 180,000, Harvard promises they won't charge you more than 10% of your family's income. You get a Harvard education, that means room, books, board, travel. That's a great value.
