[quote=Anonymous]OP needs to change her attitude completely and celebrate the Towson admit. It's a perfectly fine state university that produces many successful grads. Her kid is a hard worker. Towson rewards hard workers. Transfer after a year if feasible.

It's pretty clear OP's kid doesn't have great SAT and talking about known name colleges with merits is probably not helpful. There are schools that would take the kid at a higher price point or no aid, but if wanting a lot of merit, kid doesn't have the stats. That's how it rolls these days. Though it may be possible at places like Temple, but whether it's "better" than Towson is a different story. Different experience, certainly.

I do wish OP had started this thread differently. She should have said my kid has a 3.8, but only XXXX SAT and we can only afford 30-40k a year out of pocket, she is not happy with Towson or Salisbury,  what may still be doable schools for someone like her that we can still apply to on a rolling basis? Totally different tone and more sympathetic and helpful responses would follow.
