[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send them in-state public. Decision day hasn’t passed yet. Most kids I know apply to one or more. My kids applied to 3 even when they wanted private. We insisted on having a financial safety school. And it was smart because while they were offered generous financial aid in several schools, in-state was still cheaper and that’s where they ended up. If you’re a 2 fed household, it’s likely you have a 529 that should cover in-state. My sibling and their spouse have 1 in college and 1 HS senior and they saved in the 529 and chose public’s.

I think you might be really out of touch with modern applications.  For Maryland, applications really need to be in by 11/1 at the latest.   Most state schools have very early applications — rolling.  [/quote]

Not out of touch as my kids are at UMD and applied EA. My point was most kids we know applied to a few public in-state options. OP’s child likely did. If not, they might consider community college and a transfer. I know that seems like a disappointing option but I know kids who have had to do it for various reasons. It was our backup plan if DH was laid off as things got really rough for his industry after 2020.  [/quote]
