[quote=Anonymous]I would not ED any college. I would EA my top 6 colleges, including the instate college as well as ...UMD. Sorry, UMD trumps UVA. In terms of the major he wants to do, what matters is internships every year and good grades in college. CS is one major where knowledge matters, and not the brandname. My 2 cents - with an Asian American male student of my own with pretty similar academic results and some pretty impressive ECs... UMD (we are instate) helped him get a dual major, he saved a lot of money, earned a lot of money, got a well paying first job on the other coast, and his mental health remained great being close to home. He managed to get an equally amazing serious girlfriend, managed to travel abroad each year with his group of friends, has a great professional network, has zero student debt (merit + mom-dad), has a healthy Roth and investment fund. Get college education by spending the least amount of money that you can. [/quote]
