U of Arizona 
College of Charleston 
U of Pitt

PP was referring to your original list that you gave as examples of schools that are better than Maryland in-state schools. Just as one measure of the quality of a school, here are the 6 year graduation rates of some of those schools you listed - all are worse than Maryland state schools and most are absolutely depressing. The reality is that if you have a high stats kid, they can get good merit aid at a decent OOS school and maybe bring it close to in-state (but they would get merit aid in-state also). For those kids with average stats, they aren't going to get any merit except at maybe some of these schools you listed:

SCHOOL - 6 Year Graduation Rate
--------------------------------------
U of Alabama  -  66%
Arizona State – 66%
Miss State – 60%
U of Arizona – 60%
Ball State – 60%
U of Kansas – 60%
Ole Miss  - 60%
U of Missouri - St Louis – 59%
Kansas State – 59%
WVU – 57%
U of Hawaii - Monoa – 56%
Bowling Green State – 55%
Kent State – 55% 
Louisiana Tech – 54%
Utah State – 53%
U of Alabama - Huntsville (many kids go for 100% free) 49% 
Montana State -50%
U of NM – 46%
Coastal Carolina – 45%
Jackson State – 43%
Alabama State – 26%
Northeastern Illinois – 22%
