[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would but DD did not get accepted so sending to a nearby state and they’re offering merit that comes in at instate rate. Don’t forget instates are very competitive and not everyone gets in.[/quote]

But did your DD only apply to one?  MD has many state schools and it’s hard to imagine getting rejected at all of them and still being accepted at an OOS.

We’re new to this but our DD is going to an in state over the pricier OOS options. Even with merit aid the price over four years was about $35k more for OOS. We visited and then made a list of pros and cons for all of them and couldn’t figure out a good reason to spend that extra $35k. So she chose one of her in state options. [/quote]

This seems wise. I feel like many parents and kids get caught up in things that don’t matter. There was a funny post in other chat about why college is so $$ and the poster lambasted parents for focusing on the a/c in dorms and whether there’s an on campus Taco Bell, and driving up costs over things that have nothing to do with education.
