how can I convince (without it being my idea!) my daughter...

<p>set a dollar amount. Or set 2/3-1/3 if she goes private and flipflop is she goes state. But talk now about who pays for med school. And if she goes 2/3 of your money now for undergrad, then maybe she will be on her own 100% with med school etc. And if she goes 2/3-1/2 for undergrad, there will be funds left over for 1/3-2/3(notice the flipflop) for med school.</p>
