[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in at both and financial aid/scholarships make both very affordable for our family. He isn't sure what he wants to study, but he really likes the environment and campus at UMD. He's unsure whether Northwestern would be too much pressure. [/quote] I don't think that anyone has addressed what seems like the key point here. Your child is worried about whether there would be too much pressure at NW. To me, that is a red flag. I have a child at another T20, and there is definitely a lot of pressure there. The students who get into these highly competitive colleges tend to high stress uber achievers who work very hard. Some kids thrive in an environment like this, and some are crushed. I would take your student's concern seriously. [/quote]
