[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as you have money, then yes he will have lots of options in the T50-T150 range,

In MD, College Park is really the only in state option. The other lower level state options are pretty bad while the community colleges are even worse. It’s the one area where I really think VA is the only viable in state school system in the DMV.

So focus on searching for scholarship options, saving more, preparing for loans etc[/quote]

This is both unhelpful and inaccurate.  UMBC and Towson (the two I’m most familiar with) have excellent outcomes particularly in a few majors where they really stand out.  And as UMD continues to rapidly rise, other instate schools are rising with it as higher calibre kids looking for in state options are shut out of UMD.

Also Montgomery college is consistently ranked one of the top 10 community colleges in the country.  And agree with PP that it offers a great pathway to UMD and other schools.

OP, I think you know the GPA isn’t top of the class and UMD is probably out of reach, but many many other colleges and universities exist and may be a better fit anyway. [/quote]
