[quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen this firsthand. DS applied to lower tier schools for affordability. His budget was in-state MD but he wasn’t competitive for UMD and none of the other options felt like a good fit. The schools he applied to provide merit aid to the majority of students - some private and some OOS public. Better students get more merit aid but it seems everybody gets something. With merit aid, he has options that cost the same or less than in-state and he is excited about them. He can absolutely get into higher ranked schools than he applied to but we can’t afford them and he wouldn’t shine enough to get the top awards. Were a donut hole family. If you can get past rankings, there are a lot of good deals out there. [/quote]
