She's going a Pre-Med route.

Considering the prestige (and cost) of Princeton compared to Rhodes or other options, why wouldn't you want her to go there?

She's not getting a liberal arts degree - which is where the bourgeoisie progressive shite gets taught - so why not send her to one of the best universities on the planet?

You can study anything and go to med school.

Princeton is fairly unique in the amount of writing required of its students. If your daughter loves writing it would be a great choice. Otherwise as a premed, Harvard, Yale, etc might be better matches.

She should also keep in mind as a premed, that no matter how attractive the undergrad sheepskin, it is little more than a step towards her goal. Interestingly, an LSU 3.8 GPA could serve her better in that regard, than a Princeton 3.0.

Not fair, but it is factual.

If she's going Pre-med and sticks with it, an Ivy League college isn't necessary. LSU, Loyola and Tulane all turn out excellent students who do well in medical school. Medicine is one field where name brand schools don't offer much of an advantage once you're out on your own.

If it was something other than med, I'd say go for it. Future income from med school is uncertain.
