[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 20K per year and at a T25 school, given the major, I would probably strongly consider the T25.  She'll be able to pay that back.  Coming out from UMD with a psych major is not terribly competitive for grad programs, BK or not.  If you do choose UMD, your daughter needs to very consciously strive to be the #1 student in the program, or as close as possible.  [/quote]

I disagree. Some quick sleuthing shows us that T21 to T25 privates are: Emory, USC, Georgetown, and Carnegie Mellon. I would not take on $80,000 in loans to go to one of these schools for a psych degree. Congrats to your daughter! [/quote]

Agreed.

And you can probably eliminate Carnegie Mellon from the possible schools identified above.  Nobody goes there to study psychology.  Not sure CMU even has a psych department.

Another caution:  tuition goes up every year, so the amount you'll need to borrow will also go up, presumably.

UMD isn't a name that fills anyone with awe, but the price is right.  Save your money for grad school (as long as its not for a degree in psych!).[/quote]

CMU definitely has a psych department. It’s excellent.[/quote]
