[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP:  Why are you posting this?  Your daughter should be encouraged to make her own decision. Based on working many years with undergraduates I can tell you you are doing your daughter a grave injustice based on where you are coming from. Based on my experience, you have no capacity to understand this. 
The biggest age of self discovery are the years of an undergraduate. Your daughter is clearly telling you she wants xyz and you think you are doing the best to facilitate this. It is detrimental to her happiness and success to get out from under your influence, however well intended.  The best thing you can do for your child is let her go figure it out. STOP doing YOUR research and influencing your child. Time to step back. She sounds brilliant and is at a point in her life where pleasing her parents is a guarantee for failure. If you live in the DC area insist she NOT go to GU.  
This is a massive turning point in her life….and yours. Encourage physical distance from home in an environment where she can discover new things. Let her grow up. [/quote]

That was incredibly unhelpful.[/quote]
