I guess the bigger question is, if cost wasn’t an issue, and your kid did get into Stanford or an Ivy League school and get into say SDSU or UCSD, would you still encourage your kid to go to SDSU or UCSD or would you encourage your kid to Stanford or an Ivy League school?
For me, if cost and my kid’s ability wasn’t an issue, it would be a no brainer, I’d encourage the former.
