When my DD started the application process her goal was to get accepted into a good BS/MD program and she applied to a number of these programs. She also applied to Ivies as a backup in case she did not get into the programs.
By the end of the application process, she was accepted at NW HPME, Brown, BU SMED, Case, TCNJ/NJMS, Rutgers/NJMS, Penn State and RPI/AMC programs.
She was also accepted at Yale, Stanford, Princeton, Cornell, and Georgetown UG programs.
After much consideration and debate she decided to pursue UG degree at Stanford as she felt that this will give her the best UG exposure and experience. She decided to take a chance and give up all the programs. At the end she knows this is a big risk, but she felt this that this is what she wants to do and we supported her..
There is no right or wrong decision - it all depends on your situation.. As long as she has a good time academically and otherwise at Stanford, I think we will be very happy. Cheers..
