The idea that you are desiring for your daughter to pass up for your purposes shows you falling behind the box of rocks each moment of the race. Your cost barely rises to the level of out of state tuition at the cheap universities in most state run institution in most states. Your daughters desires should definitely be paid more attention than the wallet when is all shakes out. Dislike the gift she is being offered all you want to with all of your heart the piece of paper that she will get will be worth a small pot of gold when all is done.

I recently had a friend's kid apply to Princeton. Class valedictorian, 2300+ on the SAT, captain of the basketball team, had his own business, etc...
He didn't get accepted. Ivey League schools like to have lots of kids apply in order to keep their acceptance rates low. Not saying that's happening here, but be aware that they do have a low acceptance rate and reject a lot of kids who are more than qualified. Have a backup plan or two...

Liberal Arts are phenomenal at Princeton. Send her there and suggest she study English or something comparable while taking the med school pre-req courses. If her grades are good and MCAT scores high, she will have her choice of med schools. Med Schools increasingly admit students with diverse undergrad majors outside the hard sciences.

$7000/year is nothing for a Princeton education. LSU is what, 5-6k?

Would cost me about $7000/year.
Sounds like a good deal if that's where she wants to go. If know your daughter and trust in how you raised her I wouldn't worry about any liberal indoctrination. All the people I've meet and done business with that have had Ivy League degrees have always been very friendly and easy to do business with. Nobody really cares where you went to college or even if you went at all if your money is green.
