I think this is going to be more and more true as UMD rejects more and more kids. I am interested in seeing the data in coming years for Towson - if they get more selective because they have high achieving kids who didn't make the UMD cut applying.

I think the same goes for UMBC.

Agree. Kind of weird that my 4.0 kid and 3.0 kid may end up at the same school. One of them will not be happy about it.

This. My kid has a 4.2 (AP/IB/DE) captain of varsity sport, blah blah and didn't get into UMD so is going to Towson (we need instate tuition - he applied to a few OOS options and the nearest any of them came to instate costs after merit was about $10k more/year which we could not do. His BFF barely has a 3.0 and pretty much skated by in HS and not doing anything extra is also going to Towson. My kid "only" got $2000 in merit so there wasn't really even a significant cost difference.

Wow. He won’t take out loans?

Well, given that students can only take out $5500 in loans their freshman year...

And no. There was a lot talk in our house about student loan debt and starting off your adult life with $$$$ of loans hanging around your neck. Plus, he will probably want/need to go to grad school so he will need to find funding (work, grants, loans) for that. We ar footing the bill for undergrad - he is footing the bill for anything beyond that.

Or sat or grades or other things I’m sure neither of us are aware of.
