[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the person who is sad that so many NMF are going to schools that they wouldn't expect.... I'm happy to see this trend. Unless you're wealthy, the Ivys and other fancy schools are often (not always) not a great ROI. Smart people know this, and people are less and less blinded by prestige. It feels like one way folks are finally getting smarter. In engineering, you'd be ridiculous to pay a huge amount of money to go to Cornell over [b]huge merit aid at say UMD[/b], Penn State etc. Go DMV NMFs for making smart decisions! [/quote] UMD extends a couple large scholarships each year, with some at $1,500-$12,500 (OOS). Wouldn't call the school a huge merit aid provider.[/quote] UMD gives out 150 Banneker Key scholarships a year. That's not "a couple". [/quote] 2.5% of the class. [/quote]
