^ In many ways, I think that the flexibility that comes with a full ride scholarship such as the Jefferson makes it easier to explore directions and takes risks. That’s certainly one of the advantages touted by many of the AB Duke program. The mentoring and “fast-tracking” that goes along with such programs also allows many students to find their focus more quickly.

I’m a proud and loyal Stanford grad, and my majors changed completely during the time I was at Stanford. I was extremely fortunate in that Stanford was not only my first choice, but also gave me by far the most aid, giving me freedom not to have to work. That made a huge difference. But if I were in the OP’s situation, I’d probably personally opt for the Jefferson.
