Carnegie Mellon University (2) 
Cornell University (2) 
Duke University (2) 
Elon University 
Georgia Tech 
Harvard University (3) 
Johns Hopkins University (2) 
M.I.T. (6) 
Oxford University

+1 And with 3 admitted to Harvard, that's more admits than $40k/year st. albans.[/quote]

This list is attending not admitted.[/quote]
So [b]admitted[/b] but not attending is probably more[/quote]

First of all there is nothing wrong with MC (as dual enrollment or after graduation) than guaranteed transfer to UMD. You save quite a lot of money that route. We heavily consider this for one of our magnet kids who wants to study at UMD. You can also use that route of other very good schools (with good GPA) and save a lot of money for OOS tuition.
Another thing that you would notice by looking at this list that money is big issue here and plenty of families here with no FAFSA aid. Who would want to pay $80k+ a year with multiple kids? I am not in line.
I have told my kids - no applications to Ivies. Pointless. We would not pay for it.
I am surprised by only 1 for Ga Tech and 1 for Michigan.  Probably two kids messed up their GPA with UMBC and Towson. (I would rather go to MC, but everyone is different)
I bet that kids who went to  Vermont, Miami, Delaware, and Pitt got good scholarships and just wanted to be away from home.
It is not wise to spend $300K on college for one kid, unless you have huge amount of money in the family.
