[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this area really intensifies the sense of rat race. I’m from a state with a high quality state flagship that’s easy to get into with any reasonable amount of effort. And at from there, with a little elbow grease, there are lots of great professional opportunities. I think the relative difficulty of getting into UMD/UVA makes people around here feel like there’s no good backup plans. [/quote] Because most people cannot afford private college tuition if their kid doesn't get into a state schools, PP. It's not just la-di-dah worries, but very real financial concerns at this point. Your kid has to be a top student to get into UVA or UMD. After that, it's lower-tier publics. After that, community college. A small minority (but very present on DCUM) can afford more expensive solutions. [/quote]
