Newbie Parent: Emory? Michigan?

<p>A few more facts:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>We are in Pennsylvania, not Michigan so we're looking at $37,000 (today's price)/year at Michigan. </p></li>
<li><p>I am not megarich, but frankly have about $250,000 allotted, ready, waiting and able for each of my two kids for "kid launch". That can be expensive undergrad only, non-expensive undergrad plus grad, non-expensive undergrad plus house downpayment money or whatever. My FINANICIAL issue is to help my kid recognize the BEST VALUE for her "kid launch" money. The academic issue is that my daughter is an excellent student with GOOD scores and GOOD grades but top top top.</p></li>
