[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD was accepted into Stanford REA on Friday. No merit or financial aid of any kind. Also was accepted today to George Mason University, in-state, full-tuition merit scholarship. This was her safety affordable option. Stanford was the stretch.

Which one to choose for a B.S. in Computer Science? The Stanford route is going to cost about $300K more over four years. Is the degree really worth that much more? DH votes for George Mason and to use the savings (including $245K 529) to pay for law school. She is planning to pursue Intellectual Property Law with a STEM B.S.

Stanford is the wiser choice--especially so if she can complete her undergraduate degree without taking out any student loans.

Many law schools offer merit scholarship money, but not the Top 3 law schools (Harvard, Stanford, & Yale).

Astute law school admissions officers will value your daughter's BS in CS from Stanford University as will law firms which hire IP lawyers.

Because she received no need based financial aid from Stanford and because she has at least $250,000 available to her in college savings, Stanford is the easy answer.[/quote]
