Right it's more like 360,000 than 320.

If somebody offers you

1 Stanford degree

2 Emory degree + $300k cash.

Which one would you take?

You people need to stop reading right wing media. The obsession of Stanford students is making money after graduation

Precisely. That is Stanford. It really is about the money. The connections are ridiculous. Everything else is background noise.

- Stanford family

I know a few Stanford grads and they're conniving scammers. Nothing impressive about them.

Unfortunately, the soon to be Stanford grads we know have done really well on the tech and finance job markets. Those whose job offers were rescinded quickly collected new offers. The non-Stanford kids are scrambling. Who knows why, but there it is.

Thank you, just trying to convince my husband really. DS seems to almost be there, again he really like Emory.

OP, are we talking about your son or stepson?

Anecdotally, the kids who go with the tier 2 full ride over HYPSM tend to have remarried dads with a young kid. The new wives fight hard against private school options for their DH's kid and often win.

Parent of a Stanford grad. It was worth every penny. The connections and the job opportunities are amazing.

You can get similar at Emory + $300K

If your major is Computer Science or Engineering, go with Stanford.

If you think you may one day be seeking angel investors from venture capital for your startup company, go with Stanford.

Otherwise, It’s probably not worth the huge price difference over Emory, which is a great school in its own right.

Also, you have to consider personality. If your DS is an ambitious striver, Stanford may be worth the extra investment.

If your kid is great he would be destined to be great at Emory or Stanford. People overestimate the effect of the school on a kid’s success. Emory is a phenomenal school and unlike Stanford it has an undergraduate focus. Emory really is the easy choice here

Disagree... poor kid who went to Stanford. It opens doors.

This strikes me as very similar to the W&M vs fill ride JMU debate. Lots of ppl told OP to go JMU. Is the difference just that it’s Stanford vs being a school considered however many spots “better” than the free ride school?
