Overrated?
If you can get into MIT , you are good because MIT is the most
difficult to get into out of all the ivy league and ivy plus
institutions. Ecole polytechnique ( Mandelbrot's former school if
you ever do fractals), France is comparable to MIT if not, better
but is more stringent in admissions.
If you cannot make it into an ivy, Wharton is an ivy since Upenn is
ivy league- you can forget about it. NWU is also very difficult to
get in , sometimes as difficult as Wharton.
All USA studies are expensive, regardless of where you want to
study.
