Emory Full Tuition vs Stanford

The play here is not asking Stanford for money simply because they are not going to give you any if you do not qualify for financial aid.

The correct approach in this situation is to ask Emory University to make the decision for your family.

If Emory is requiring $20,000 per year, then Emory can move $20,000 a year in your direction to buy your son away from Stanford.

If Emory grants an additional $20,000 per year, then the difference becomes $320,000 and Emory becomes a stress free lifestyle for all involved.

If Emory says no more money, then the College Gods will have spoken & you can rest assured that Stanford University is the better option.

You're welcome in advance.


A long time ago, a family member was accepted to Emory's MBA program and to the then #1 MBA program in the country. Did not present any type of ultimatum or request to Emory MBA which had already offered a full scholarship--just informed Emory when asked that the other MBA program had offered a position in the upcoming class. Emory sent a letter increasing the MBA full scholarship to an increased amount.

The description was ambiguous. Clearly, you are narrow-minded.

What kind of aid is this? Merit?

Has to be merit scholarship otherwise cost would be the same or less at Stanford (if OP qualified for need-based financial aid).

Seriously, do not take advice from posters who forget to account for fact that college is 4 years, not one (and there is seemingly more than one of them).

As someone with a kid at Emory on a full ride, please send your kid to Stanford.

People on here are ridiculous. Emory for sure. Stanford undergrad is pretty overrated unless you want CS - their alumni out of undergrad are not that notable. The vast majority of their big name alumni are from their grad schools. Save the money and if your son really likes Stanford have him consider it for a masters.

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?

Both great ioptins but I’d do Stanford. Kid can work summers and at school and get at least half way there. A degree that stays with you

At very least call Stanford and tell them predicament and see if they can help at all. Even 5k would make diff
