Education & Reference - 7 April 2007

OK, so i got into these 3 schools and I know that my ultimate goal is law school. I've visited all 3 campuses and I like all 3 about equally. Personally Vanderbilt is my favorite but only because of the sports teams (and i live in maryland so i liked the change of scenery over the terps).
The real problem is Vanderbilt, after all scholarships and stuff is gonna cost me about 28k a year and Maryland is gonna run about 10k. Also I got into the Honors Humanities Program at UMD which only admits 50 a year (notice I'm really between Vandy and UMD, but I did sort of like Emory). What is the best decision here to put me in the best place for law school, Vanderbilt for the prestige and the experience or Maryland for the price? I have to admit, the ability to to pay 1/3 of the price and save that money for grad school is tempting but I also love the idea of Nashville. Any comments would be MUCH appreciated.

I got accepted to these two great schools, both of which offered generous financial aid packages. However, I'm still uncertain as to which school I should attend- even after doing tons of research!
I see myself as a caring, humble, determined and a very mature youngman that would like to delve beyond the 'ordinary' liberal arts education and experience the extraordinary!
I love both schools very much and would greatly appreciate any comments that would help me in making the right decision.

Thank you!

My 5 year old niece (birthday was in December) has been in preschool for a year and just had her "kindergarten screening". Her preschool teacher is recommending that she stay in preschool for another year. She has a bad speech impediment (she is in speech therapy) and her teacher says that she has "plateaued" in her skills since December. She is shy and cries easily. She is the youngest of 3 kids and I think she is just immature. (She has been tested for learning problems and doesn't have any other the speech delay.) My brother-in-law wants her to go. He is adamant that holding her back would be a mistake and immaturity is not a reason to keep her out of kindergarten. He thinks she will be teased for being the oldest in her class. I can sort of see his point. She would turn 7 halfway through kindergarten if they keep her back. She would be 19 when she graduates from HS. I still think she should stay back. How do I convince him? Being held back later would be worse!

Anyone have a theory about why it's now so common? When my son was young it was 1 in 10,000 births. Not it's like 1 in 100's. What is your thoughts on this? I don't want to read a book or anything I just wanted peoples personal thoughts, opinions and theories. Preferably parents of autistic children.

My son is now 17 and is doing really well.
