[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this post extremely hard to believe.  I also find it hard to believe your friends will turn down Ivy League finance students to give your kid a spot as an intern.  And [b]sure her Ivy League co-interns won’t notice at all and assume she’s completely unqualified and just had an in. [/b] I turned down a higher ranked law school for a full ride scholarship but both schools were top 15.  Here they are far apart.  [/quote]

Just because someone doesn't go to one, they're automatically "unqualified"? These Ivy League schools sure pump their all kinds of weird ideas into people's heads.[/quote]

OP here.  My DD visited both UVA and WM.  She didn't like either one of them.  She visited Columbia and she likes it because it is in an urban area.  She just questions the cost of the education at Columbia vs. Mason.  [b]I am fine if she wants attend Columbia if she chooses to.[/b]  The money is for her education no matter what.

Things get a bit complicated in our family situation as well.  DD is a accomplished pianist and artist.  She is working on her Royal Conservatory Music (RCM) ARCT level and she does not want to leave her current piano teacher.  She also has a very good relationship with her art mentor and does not want to leave her mentor either.  We purchased a 100K grand piano for her two years ago and she wants to stay @home to practice on that piano for her ARCT music level.  My wife and I also adopted a 1 year old baby girl so my DD wants to stay close to bond with her baby sister.  DD is also very close to her mother.  That's the reason why she applied to Mason.

I have enough to live so I don't need the money I save for DD.  Whatever is left over, DD can decide what to do with it.  If she does not need it, I will donate it to charity.

OK, now I'm kicking myself for answering earlier because you are obviously a troll OP.[/quote]

This.  First he said, "I want her to go to a good school but I just can not justify spending 320k for a 4 year degree."  Then he said what is bolded above.  Then he said, she'll have access to whatever is left over (first post) and now again he said she can decide what to do with what is left over.  But then he says also now, he'll donate it to charity if she doesn't need it.  How would you know if and when she'd need it?  Troll.[/quote]
