[quote=Anonymous][quote=dcmom12345]To add- we live in Maryland so I brought up in UMD as an option with DD seemed okay with but DH put on list of "will not pay for". He gave a list of universities he would consider acceptable which was limited to Chicago, Duke, MIT, Stanford, Caltech, AWS, JHU, Northwestern, RICE, Vandy, Michigan, and Berkeley. [/quote] Tell him no wonder his brilliant daughter is stressed out and miserable. He's locked her in a very tiny cage and defined what "success" is for her like she's a five year old. Learning to fail is part of adulthood. It makes better adults. But I understand your husband wanting her to go to a college with rigor where she'd be challenged. I'd have a hard time having a kid go from an ivy to Florida State too--but there's a lot between those choices. Maybe your daughter should take a look at some more SLACs: Amherst, Carlton, Grinnell, Pomona, that kind of thing. [/quote]
