[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to Stanford. She might not want to go to law school after all. The students she will be surrounding herself with at Stanford will challenge her and push her to grow in ways that George Mason possibly could not. [/quote]

First of all, congrats to the parent whose daughter got into Stanford. I have in-law family members that went to GMU, and no disrespect to that school. But as a Stanford alum myself, I'd echo this quote above. The university experience is often as much about the people with whom you surround yourself as anything else, and at Stanford, your daughter will be exposed to (and inevitably inspired by) an incredibly talented, ambitious (for good and bad), provocative cohort of students, professors, alumni, administrators, and related associates. There's a wealth of resources at the school, paralleled only by other top tier schools. You can't put a figure on the opportunities that present themselves in an environment like that, and that tuition cost difference will likely become inconsequential down the line as your daughter progresses in her career. Also, have you visited the campus yet? It's gorgeous and idyllic, not to mention the great Palo Alto weather. [/quote]
