[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS has super-high test scores, GPA, etc. Alabama will give free ride for 10 semesters including grad school, pay a stipend of $3,500 a year, etc. Financially, it is a no-brainer. But, it is Alabama. DS would be a better fit at Columbia, Rice, Stanford, Berkeley, etc. Thoughts? [/quote] If you don't get a comparable offer from a better institution, take the money. [b]The gamble involved in going to Alabama is that your DC must excel academically. If that happens, your DC will be very attractive to grad schools (coming from Alabama - an underrepresented institution with superior credentials). Use the money you save on undergrad to fudn grad school (if necessary). If DC gets caught up in the social scene at Bama and doesn't excel academically, then DC may be working at Waffle Shop.[/quote][/b] +1 You nailed it! [/quote]
