you don't need to spend that cash to get a top tier education...the quality of education you get isn't dependant on whether a school is "ivy league". That's just over-privaledged white kids with a few minorities thrown in to keep up the PC appearance...
You want an engineering degree, science - purdue, university of michigan, rose hulman, USC, MIT - want religious studies - University of Chicago (hands down) (philosophy as well a top tier school - notre dame another top philo school - so's IU), film school (UCLA) etc., etc.,
The type of discipline you're pursuing should mandate the school's you're interested in.
best of luck -

Have you seen the cost of MIT or University of Chicago? It's no less expensive than an Ivy. "Ivy League" is just that, a league. Some of the schools you mentioned are every bit as elite as the Ivy League schools and just as expensive.
What makes Yale elitist and not Chicago or MIT?
The "Ivy League" was just a name for schools that played each other in sports. Like "Big Ten" or "ACC". This dates back to when Harvard and Yale were actually winning National Championships in football.
