Stanford vs. Robertson Scholarship

<p>So I have to decide between Stanford and the Robertson Scholarship at UNC. I feel incredibly blessed to be in this position but that doesn't make the decision any easier. For those that are not familiar with it, the Robertson is a full ride with joint enrollment at UNC and Duke and summer travel and other perks included. It is difficult for me to get a grip on comparing them because the things that make them incredible are very different. While Stanford has exactly the programs I want (Atm/Energy Engineering or Earth Systems), money may be a bit of an issue. Is there anyone out there who has made a similar decision? I would greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts</p>

<p>Go to Parents Forum and search on Curmudgeon. His daughter decided between Yale (among others) and a full ride at Rhodes in Memphis...that also seems to have included some research and other opportunities. She took the full ride at Rhodes. There don't seem to be any regrets. </p>

<p>She was just named a Goldwater Scholar (national award) in her sophomore year...</p>
