[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to name them, but two of the schools on DC's acceptance list cut their tuition prices a few years back--an increasingly common practice for private schools to stay competitive.

They're good schools but If I named them, no doubt you'd tell me they aren't "good enough," but since you were the one who told Me to check my privilege about UMDCP (an option we didn't actually consider, although we did consider the other two in MD), I'd tell you to go where there's no sun shining.

They cut their tuition below $10k?[/quote]

With Merit aid, yeah. [/quote]

Please name them.[/quote]

And out my family to you nice people? Hell no.

I have no idea why you're so invested in UMD, and the fact that you're not even going through college admissions right now makes your opinion even more sad and suss. The fact that another poster comes in here with a story about their own experience and you attack and insinuate things about their kid is also, btw, beyond horrible. Why on earth would I open up my own family to your nasty crap?

No, Virginia, when everyone doesn't want the same things you do that isn't because they're jealous. Sometimes it's just because you're ignorant and have no taste. [/quote]

You seem to be confusing several posters. I asked what colleges they were.  Someone else expressed skepticism that you got $50k a year merit (not me but I agree with that).

And I absolutely, resolutely, am not attacking the poor kid with very high stats who did not get in to UMD engineering. The fact that several posters are trying to tear that poor kid apart searching for the reason he didn’t get in (to convince themselves that the same won’t happen to them) is not only shameful and offensive but it also makes it less likely that others like you will share useful info on this thread. How about showing some support here?[/quote]

I never said 50k merit. But merit did come in at two to bring the cost below 30k. Not a lot below, but some.

We can agree the people attacking a high-achieving kid apart are horrible. I probably would have bowed out of this conversation long ago if they were less horrible. Rightly or wrongly, they do reinforce my opinion that UMD is a place I wouldn't send our dog. Apologies. We can agree to disagree. [/quote]

Well in that case, how lucky you are to have that option! Unclear how you managed to find privates with such low tuition that you didn’t need $50k to bring it down to $10k but I’m giving up on this conversation. You seem intent on being insulting.[/quote]
