More and more, the smart money sends their kids to the best state school available where they live. It really does not pay to go to an expensive private school even if it is Stanford or one of the Ivies for an undergraduate degree unless there is a full ride involved. Maybe it especially means you should not go to one of them if everyone gets an A every time. Who knows whether anyone is learning anything. Stories like this one that describes grade inflation at Harvard (the median grade at the school is an A-) help make the case. The best Japanese universities have had the reputation as being impossible to get into, but after you were in, almoste equally as impossible to fail. This surely has that feel to it.
