[quote=Anonymous]To answer OP's question, we were in a very similar situation. While both our kids got generous merit aid at private schools, it wasn't enough to bring the costs down to in-state levels. We had one kid who went to SMCM and one who went to UMD. SMCM is unique and feels more like a private LAC than a public school. It is a lovely, beautiful place with great professors who really get to know the students. I would encourage you to at least take a visit before ruling it out. UMD is fabulous and the opportunities are endless but because admission is so competitive I can understand why you want to consider other schools. The kid who went to UMD also considered UMBC and I was personally very impressed with the school and would have been thrilled it DC had chose to attend. FWIW, UMBC offered a good amount of merit aid that made it the most affordable option.[/quote]
