DS is targeting UMD but it is a borderline reach. What large publics hVe you visited that impressed you or would be similar? He us not interested in the south and UC schools would be off the table as safeties. Unsure of major so the large school with everything is appealing. Also hoping for merit to make coa similar to in-state.
Some on our radar but haven’t visited: UMN, UDelaware, Purdue…others?? |

Look to the Midwest:
Michigan State Minnesota Iowa Iowa State Kansas Kansas State Indiana (not sure about merit there) |

| Some of the SUNY schools would be worth considering. Binghamton or Stony Brook come to mind as comparable to UMD. Great price point even for OOS students! |

| Lots of kids who are borderline for UMD seem to wind up at Delaware and Penn State. |

OP here- thanks for suggestions! It is my understanding that Pitt and Penn State do not give much aid. Is this true? Stats are good - 3.8 UW 10-12 APs probably mediocre test score so not sure about submitting.
Also for the UVA, maybe Im wrong but assumed if we didn’t get into UMD, prob not in UVA and I think their tuition OOS is out of our price range. These are just my assumptions though. |

Neither is a safety, nor Purdue. |

Those stats won’t get him in Penn State or Purdue much less as safeties. UVA is completely off the table. |
