[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MY DD has been accepted to Emory University and total costs will be close to $85,000.  We received no merit.  She was also accepted to UMD - College Park and we are in state.

If she goes to Emory, she will use her entire 529 College Fund leaving nothing for graduate school.

Of course, if she goes to UMD, she will have $ left.

I am rather sad for her but it doesn't seem like a wise move financially to go with Emory and we are leaning towards UMD College Park.

Anyone else in this situation?  Accepted to competitive college or top 20 college and cannot justify such a high cost?

She's lucky she has these options.  What are her career goals?[/quote]

Don't be sad to send your kid to UMD over Emory.  You know your child, if they will thrive at UMD it will be fine.  If they need to leave the nest and go further to a smaller school and you can make that happen without financial hardship do that.  Don't worry about the rankings and being judged.
