A fascination with the eight private colleges that comprise the Ivy League spans decades. What is an Ivy League degree worth?

Baylor University's $2 billion endowment — a fraction of those in the Ivy League — generated a 6.4% return for the fiscal year that ended June 30, outperforming the entire conference. Morehead joined the university in 2011, and since fiscal 2012, Baylor's endowment has more than doubled. The key to Baylor's endowment success, according to Chief Investment Officer David Morehead, is taking advantage of dislocations in the market. This increase comes as endowment returns have rebounded nationally. Endowment returns were up 7.7% in fiscal 2023, per the latest study by the National Association of College and University Business Officers and Commonfund.

Explore How Income Influences Attendance at 139 Top CollegesAt many selective private colleges, being very rich is a door to entry — students with parents earning in the top 1 percent attend at much higher rates than other similarly qualified students, new data shows. The data is available for 139 colleges, including the top private colleges according to Barron’s and many of the top public and private colleges in U.S. News & World Report. The researchers also had access to internal admissions data for several of the most elite private colleges. In much of the next tier of elite private colleges, rich students have a similar advantage. Even though college attendance rises with parental income, when it comes to educating the majority of America’s four-year college students, public universities play a vital role — regardless of how much their parents make.

YAMHILL, Ore. — Before I make an argument about affirmative action, let me tell you how I was a beneficiary of it. I wasn’t a student of color, but I grew up on a farm and attended a small, rural high school where there wasn’t much math and nobody had ever applied to an Ivy League college. Elite colleges were looking for farm kids from low-income areas to provide diversity. I wish the Supreme Court had ruled differently on affirmative action for race, but unfortunately it blocked that path for diversity. My fear is that we will all throw up our hands and sit around blaming the court, rather than actually working to overhaul a disgracefully unequal education system.

The study — by Opportunity Insights, a group of economists based at Harvard who study inequality — quantifies for the first time the extent to which being very rich is its own qualification in selective college admissions. The result is the clearest picture yet of how America’s elite colleges perpetuate the intergenerational transfer of wealth and opportunity. Less than 1 percent of American college students attend the 12 elite colleges. For the several elite colleges that also shared internal admissions data, they could see other aspects of students’ applications between 2001 and 2015, including how admissions offices rated them. Share of admitted students who were recruited athletes at selected elite colleges Recruited athletes at elite colleges were much more likely to come from the highest-earning households.

Parents are paying consultants up to $750,000 to help get their kids into Ivy League colleges. The six-figure outlay to get their kids into college adds to the increasingly prohibitive cost of attending those institutions. Bloomberg reported that the cost of attending Ivy League schools — including tuition, accommodation, and fees — was pushing $90,000 a year, with four years of attendance potentially costing more than $300,000. Consultants told the outlet that the increasing exclusivity of Ivy League attendance may work as its own status symbol for some parents, encouraging a bigger outlay on preparation. While its generally accepted that Ivy League graduates have higher earning potential than their peers, it seems that Americans are increasingly discounting the value of having a college degree at all.
