I was set to go to an Ivy League school 12 years ago and a couple years after the 08 recession. Back then, tuition, combined with room & board came out to $50k a year. I ended up backing out and following a less conventional path because I couldn't afford tuition. It's hard to imagine that we're now seeing $90k a year now in 2023. It's just absolutely ludicrous. College in this country is a scam.

do you think it affected your life outcomes to not go to an ivy league school ?
Oh I'm sure it has. But I think not taking on $200k in debt was worth it. 10+ years later, I don't regret my decision.
