If you can afford to send your daughter to Princeton to study a real degree (not some BS liberal arts, but a degree that offers great career prospects like engineering, accounting, finance, or the pure sciences) I wouldn't hesitate.


I agree.

I would say if she gets in and its $7k a year, do it even if its BS degree. The value with the ivy league is not what you learn but who you meet. That network is super valuable, as many ivy leaguers are children of the business and political leaders in the US. This is especially true with harvard and princeton.

I don't have a ton of experience in the matter. I was denied admission to Vandy in high school and ended up at Mississippi State and my wife was an average student at Ole Miss. We both were first in our families to go to college, so we were lucky to go.

We've always placed the value of education as high on our only child, and she has excelled. I want to give her the opportunities we never had. I just don't want her to become a progressive militant lesbian brainwashed by the liberal elites of the Northeast.

Had not even been talked about until last week. They basically have families pay 10% of AGI if you can get in, so its a really good deal.
