[quote=Anonymous]I know it is really hard to wrap your head around this so early on in your child’s education, but I so wish someone would have shared this with me when my child was younger, just to ease the angst a bit.  My child is 25 and attended MoCo schools in the northeastern consortium. When comparing their trajectory to peers in dc private, bcc cluster, and the MoCo W’s there has been no appreciable difference in terms of college acceptances (they went to a solid state school) opportunities to pursue careers and earnings. For example, my child got accepted to UMCP while some of their peers in higher performing clusters and dc privates were denied and waitlisted.  And there were always a fair amount of Ivy acceptances at their high school every year. Today, career-wise my child is doing just as well or better as those peers and just got accepted to a grad school that has a 3% acceptance rate. I am so glad we saved money during high school and used it for college. With a lot colleges at or reaching 80k/year, no end in sight to tuition inflation, and merit aid being extremely competitive, it’s definitely something to plan for and think about. Good luck![/quote]
