[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In state tuition hands down.  (as a parent of a 4th grader who can not believe the cost of State Schools)

We may move to MD/VA if we wind up going the private HS route. [/quote]

Don't forget the tuition rebate available to DC residents though.[/quote]

Only $10,000 and isn't guaranteed to be there for more than the next 2 years (up to Congress to fund each year). [/quote]

Yes, but at the end of the day, for upper NW families are any of the public universities in Maryland a strong draw?[/quote]

Yes they are and the other beauty of the 10k is you can use it at ANY public university.  If you live in DC and have a bright student you can get in-state tuition AND the 10k credit.  It is a beautiful thing.[/quote]

You don't get in state tuition *and* the 10k. The 10k is in lieu of in-state status, and applies to the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition. If out-of-state tuition is more than $10k more expensive than in-state (as is the case in VA), you're stuck making up the difference. Our kids are little now and doing great in DCPS, but if they grow up to be smart enough for UVA, we'll definitely consider moving across the river.[/quote]
