[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think parents look for reasons - valid or not -- rather than accepting the fact that there are so many other highly qualified students with perfect stats and other accomplishments out there. [/quote]

Neither of our children got B-K. Both were honors.  One child's roommate had B-K. I think it could be accomplishments but I also think a factor is convincing the students to attend UMD rather than an elite private college. One down side of B-K if you get the full-ride - [b]our child's roommate who had B-K had to live on-campus for all four years to keep the full scholarship[/b]. [/quote]

Was this a long time ago? My DD has the full BK scholarship. She lived on campus freshman and sophomore years. For junior year, she lived in an apartment off-campus. The amount that the university allows her for housing got deposited in her school account, then transferred to automatic deposit in her bank. DD is class of '24.[/quote]

They can but don’t have to live on campus all 4 years. Same for honors college. That matters to some families as there is not enough space on campus for all upperclassmen and those gorgeous new apartments in College Park are expensive (plus leases are 12 mos).[/quote]
