Doesn't Stanford offer free tuition for students of parents making "less than $125,000 annually"? (previously $100,000). However, I'm not sure if this only applies to undergrads. Just something to check out.
Thanks, @alexandergreene93! It sure is a lot to think about, to say the least. He has an interview tomorrow for an MIT position, and so he says that I can go to Harvard (to which I roll my eyes and say "yeah, once I get a 180 on the LSAT...")! :)
... may have some relevant information - Harvard and Princeton are high profile ... .edu/bridgeyear/
