College admissions lawsuit: 16 top colleges sued for alleged violation of federal antitrust laws by colluding on their financial-aid practices - CNN

I'm sure you don't work in admissions, right?

A decade and change ago when I last dealt with this, the advertised costs were well within around 5% of each high end school across the country.  I can only assume the pattern is unchanged.
The aid trip-wires/incentives had more variation. Need blind or need only vs merit or both were more prevalent than the cost differences.  
Glad to be well beyond that CF.

I don’t work in admissions or have anything to do with it. 

As far as I understand that article, the institutions are being accused of doing something they’re permitted to do under existing federal law.  That is certainly an interesting approach to litigation.
