Pushing my son for elite school

Hello All, I'm new to this site and I wanted some input from other parents or students. I've always wanted my son to attend Stanford. He is a smart and wonderful kid. I didn't talk about it too much I think because I know Stanford is the most selective college in the USA and the odds of getting in are slim. He talked more about getting into UC Berkeley or UCLA or USC but he knows Stanford is a great school. I got him to apply EA and told him he had nothing to lose. Well he got accepted and he was happy but I was estatic. Now it's almost March and he hasn't committed yet. I know he has until May 1st but he wants to hear from other schools as well. If he really wants to go somewhere else I will support his decision but I'm not shy about giving my opinion to him. Do you think I'm being over bearing about wanting him to attend Stanford? I think it would open up great opportunities for him? Can anyone relate or share something that may help? Sorry about the long intro.
