Woof. That article struck me primarily as a sign of elite colleges going off the need standard. What do you want to bet that the scholarship kids are not singing the same song?
Also, what fool goes to law school, and then immediately becomes a stay-at-home mom? Law school is incredibly expensive, and the scholarships are few and far between. (Flatmate has one, because she's committing to public service, but even so it's only partial.) Unless mummy, daddy, or hubby is rolling in hundred dollar bills, there isn't a justification in the world for borrowing $125,000 (and spending 3 years) to obtain an asset you won't use.
I suspect these are the same kinds of elite freshmen who arrive in Cambridge in September, looking for 1-BR apartments within walking distance to Harvard, for less than $1000/mo. We laugh at these people.
