[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Merit is generally what people are using to make oos publics more reasonable.

There are some that are more reasonably priced, but none most of you would consider.

For example, my daughter is already accepted to Northern Michigan (NMU) and still needs to apply to Slippery Rock in PA. A couple others we considered were UNC-Greensboro, Bridgewater State (MA) and Stockton (NJ)

Apply to VCU, GMU, JMU instead.[/quote][/b]

This! in-state or OOS.  All have great records for student placement in careers after -- especially GMU. Stockton makes zero sense

Only one of those schools has the 2 programs my child was looking for. She doesn’t have the stats for that school, though.

I already said we are still waiting on 2 in state publics, and one of those is a top 3 from her list of 9 schools.

Her list is based on her specific wants and needs. Of course I wish GMU, JMU or VCU were right for her - they are not.  That said, I was putting out there that there are cheaper oos options out there if you are willing to look a little outside the box. We also investigated UNM, U of NV Reno, a couple Cal States, U of Central WA, Western OR, SEMO, a random CO public (Mesa) and a random UT public (Tech) for a short while. She came within hours of hitting send to SIUe (IL). There are lots more schools than just the tops and/or flagships.
