[quote=Anonymous]"In the end though he decided to attend UMD honors college which was much cheaper." It's not hard to find a bunch of schools that after merit aid will cost exactly what UMD costs. Our DC with a 1300 and a 4.0 Weighted, got that deal from 6 of the 8 schools they applied to. The problem is that they will be much worse schools, even though in DC's case they had ABET engineering programs so they were places you have heard about. DC#2 was a much stronger candidate than the OP's son. They got into 6 schools ranked between 10 and 60 but their merit aid was $10k to $15k for schools ranked in the 4-50s. We thought schools ranked in the 4-50s that talked about merit aid would try to match UMD, but it turns out that since they are ranked higher, they cost more. [/quote]
