[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this is why the applications to UMD are so high from the Bethesda/Potomac public schools.  Over 40% of Whitman students apply to UMD, and it looks like even higher percentages do from the other schools.  The admission rate from Whitman is over 75% so these are qualified kids applying.  I know some/many have gotten generous aid packages.  I think more people are really starting to consider the public options much more seriously than in the past because the cost of private college has gotten just too high relative to the product, given that there are much less expensive options.[/quote]

Agreed.  On a related note, a top student at our private school went to University of Maryland Baltimore County, over a number of highly rated SLACs, because the student received a full merit scholarship for all four years.  [/quote]

Same.  A friend of ours daughter is in at an Ivy for next year already.  Mom is thinking hard about UMBC instead.  That this is even a question is interesting.[/quote]
