<p>Yeah, I’m looking at another school similar to Stanford, in my backyard, Princeton. Even though there’s certainly no guarantee they’ll admit me, with their early estimator, I would be paying a considerably smaller amount for college (<15 k per year) because Stanford considers home equity as opposed to Princeton, if anyone knows about NJ housing prices they’d understand what I mean. 
Also, Stanford will only consider an offer from a “peer” school?</p>
