Does paying that much money make me smarter? (link)
A small group of American universities is crossing a threshold that once seemed absurd: $100,000 for a single year as an undergraduate.
At least 16 institutions are now approaching or exceeding that figure when tuition, fees, housing and other miscellaneous costs are combined, according to a recent analysis by New York Magazine. The list — corroborated by data obtained by CNBC — is dominated by elite, high-demand schools, including the University of Chicago, Georgetown University and Wesleyan University.

imply quality....but then give big discounts as 'scholarships'. IE, almost EVERYONE who gets in qualifies for a scholarship that take 35 to 50% off of the 'list price'.
They don't package it that way, and they do make it sound like "You're smart! You earned it!", but it's the approach a lot seem to take.
