That's insane. Are they planning to attend? Seems ivy material.[/quote]

The good state university honors programs now attract HYS-level donut hole kids. This is probably especially true for very high stats donut hole kids. The Maryland honors program kids are probably a lot smarter than the average HYS kid.

Princeton, MIT and Cal Tech have much better aid than HYS (or, at least, Harvard and Yale; never tried the Stanford aid calculator) and might still be getting a lot of very bright donut hole kids.

But, at this point, for true donut hole kids in states with great flagships, Harvard and Yale are for status-chasing losers. They’re kids who’ll bankrupt their parents because it would be too painful to get a top education and be treated like a king at Maryland.

Going to Harvard might might sense for a donut hole kid with the University of Nebraska for the flagship who wants to become a philosophy professor , but absolutely not for a Maryland kid who just wants to be a doctor or a lawyer. [/quote]
