[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both great ioptins but I’d do Stanford. Kid can work summers and at school and get at least half way there. A degree that stays with you [/quote]

The price difference is $240,000.  Why are so many on this thread so bad at math?[/quote]

Because Stanford is unique

It sounds like a miserable place to go to school these days. The 90s are a long time ago. That's when when it was a fun school for nerds. It's what made its reputation. But these days it's DEI central. But it still has its old cachet as a place for creative, unconventional, bright kids willing to break the rules. Contemporary reality is very different. But it's still a pedigree degree. And employers will pay for that. A Stanford degree will definitely opens doors that an Emory degree will nott.

Is it worth $240,000 and four years of loneliness and feeling like you're always walking on eggshells? It depends. For certain kids it will more than pay off. Suck it up and cash out. For others, totally not worth it, particularly when there's a nice package at Emory - a very good school - and there are other siblings to think about.

If I were in OPs shoes I'd think - Is my kid a shark? If yes, go to Stanford. If no, go to Emory.   [/quote]
