A lot of kids may choose affortable schools and UMD as its a great school.  That doesn't mean results are dismal.[/quote]

Many of the kids might not have unlimited resources. I would think they got a full ride at UMd and most likely will go to grad school so why pay for undergrad?[/quote]
Very few get a full ride to UMD.

Lots of magnet kids do get the presidential scholar merit aid which is $20K for four years. My kid got that from RMIB.

Actually, several students from magnets do get rejected to UMD, but mostly for CS/eng.[/quote]

RM families are generally pretty comfortable.  They only take so many students per school so it's not surprising that not all don't get in.[/quote]

Comfortable doesn’t mean they have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend per kid on college. Comfortable puts them in the donut hole.[/quote]
+1 and this is why many end up at UMD.

If we had to, we could shell out $100k/year, but it would wipe out our cash savings, and we could only do that for one kid.  What about the other kid?  The expectation that the parents should wipe out all savings before being eligible for any FA is crazy.
