[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, gang, this is the shell-shocked PP. A couple of years ago, I could've written this: 
[quote]Our family makes $160K, and we have saved for our three children to go to college - it won't be $70K a year, but we can afford $35K per year per kid. We started saving at birth.[/quote]
So we actually have a lot in common!  :) 
Now I'm finding that the raise we were so happy about means that we will have to pay full freight for 3 kids. The savings that we've put aside since before the kids were born only goes so far when paying for 12 years of $70k+/year tuition. To us, that's a huge amount of money. I've been told not to count on getting in-state for College Park, since apparently even some high-stats kids have surprisingly been turned away. Hence my keen interest in merit aid... 
Thanks to those who posted merit aid suggestions and sources! If anyone else has any more thoughts on merit aid, I'd love to hear them. I appreciate the guidance from people who've been through this.[/quote]

There are good lists available if you google 'colleges with merit aid' and 'universities with merit aid.' But narrowing it down to small, liberal arts colleges vs state universities helps

Also, remember that there are more public universities and colleges in Maryland beyond College Park. [/quote]
