<p>If this were my son, I’d say if he wants to go to Cornell, the cost difference is totally on him, and he chooses, not me. </p>
<p>I’d openly support the idea of UT for undergrad, and let’s see how sucessful he is. If he is really, really good, he won’t have to pay for grad school. </p>
<p>If he is going to med school, that is debt enough!!</p>
<p>Best wishes.</p>
