Photo of her and Kennedy:  Her most recent espnW evaluation sounds a lot like what the Beavers might be missing: "Agile perimeter prospect with versatility; manufactures shots and delivers from beyond the arc; mid-range game threat takes defenders off the dribble and scores in traffic; superb court awareness, passes with purpose; unselfish playmaker with skill set of a point-forward; an impact prospect in the class of 2021." |

This is her second trip here. She is good friends with Kennedy. Actually she's more an OSU lean than parents. But, what parent wouldn't want their kid to go to Furd for free. They'll make a good decision for the family. If not, transfers are the in thing! Heck, any kid from a "lower" income family can go to Stanford for free!! If parents earn less than $150,000 a year combined, and their total assets (typically home equity+non-retirement savings) are at or below what is typical for their income level, their kid can go to Stanford tuition free...assuming they get accepted of course  )))) If the parent's combined income is less than $65,000 a year, room and board are free as well. My Dad was not a high income person and my mother did not work at a job, so I wish they had this program when I was 18!!! |

I'm glad my parents let me decide where to attend college (within certain financial restraints, of course) instead of having them choose for me. She (and all kids) should listen to outside advice, but in the end she is the one who has to live the decision, not mom and pop.

Been helping people fill out FAFSA and other grant/loan apps for years... and $65k of family income gets you almost zero in even student loans. And Furd being private doesn't publicize much except to those who can hopefully qualify... and can use entrance requirements judiciously. You can't just be low income or a good hoops player. |

I did not say the 2 issues were linked. |

I realize my opening sentence is misleading. I should have said "any academically qualified kid" and not simply "any kid". No issue... just didn't know the program being mentioned. And... only a couple of kids I've worked with would have been "Furd types" and went elsewhere. Thx for the info! |

I'm glad my parents let me decide where to attend college (within certain financial restraints, of course) instead of having them choose for me. She (and all kids) should listen to outside advice, but in the end she is the one who has to live the decision, not mom and pop. Absolutely! If the kid is going to get a free ride no matter where she goes, it should be her decision. We don't have arranged marriages anymore. Barring important family considerations ( financial limitations, serious illness in family requires staying home, that type of thing ), good parents should offer wise input choice of college and/or course of study, but push the kid to choose what feels best to her. I'll freely admit that my sage advice to my daughter would be Stanford,but I'd also point out that plenty of very successful, well rounded individuals have chosen other avenues and, 30 years later, were still very glad they made that choice. Would anybody think, for example, that Mikayla Pivec will not be as successful in life as she would have been had she gone to Stanford? More importantly, will her future self look back and think this was not an outstanding experience for her? Stanford's wonderful academically, but it's all up to the individual. You can find an excellent education at a party school; you can find a party at a seminary. Parents know that. |

You can find an excellent education at a party school; you can find a party at a seminary. Parents know that. The main issue for parents is the trust... show your kids you support and trust their decision and if it turns out to be the wrong one, it's OK. But, the trust will open the door to that honest communication, versus the "I told you so" parent(s). Both her parents were high level athletes and know all about making decisions regarding one's future. From the little info shared, neither parent in this case is domineering and making the decision for her. I hear they both are very positive influences. |

Talia's father played in the NFL. Her mother was also an outstanding athlete. Great genes.
Talia is a very strong athlete for her age. She is the type of combo guard that could play multiple positions for the Beavs.

Stanford's big value is the connections you establish while a student. A top-tier athlete has a lot of other ways to build their network of powerful connections.... and her parents already provide that. Stanford still provides a very compelling value for her, but it's much less than it would be for a kid from most families.

They get to pick and choose between all the 4.0 and 1600 SAT. |
