[quote=Anonymous]I think your daughter is probably scared to go to Stanford. A lot more pressure to succeed. Competing with a more elite group of students. 3000 miles away from home and away from everything she's ever known. The added pressure of the financial cost - extra pressure to succeed or else it will seem to be a huge waste of money. Trying to integrate with an entirely new student body who, for the most part, will probably very different from her and her background. She knows she will do great at UMBC. No pressure. Free ride. It's familiar, close by, and a known entity. I actually gave up a free ride at UMBC for a much lesser school than Stanford. I can completely understand your daughter's preference, but I think that it is driven by her fears. I think she might later in life, regret not going to Stanford. I would address her fears and let her talk about them.[/quote]
