[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much Ivy etc. focus on DCUM which is great but unrealistic based on acceptance rates, costs etc.

Did your kid attend a T100-T200 school? Which one? Why did they like it?

School
Urban/Suburban/Rural
Cost (tuition and housing)

DC is looking at mid-size or large schools and prefers Urban/Suburban near a major airport vs. regional airport with limited flights and/or a campus that is a three hour drive from landing. Want to avoid a suitcase school if possible.

They have the stats to attend a top school but we don't have $400-$500k saved up for four year undergrad before they even go to grad school which is where I'd prefer to invest. Toying around with pre-law or bio (or both if environmental law) + potentially Japanese minor.

CS in UMD. Suburban, large. Instate 
Cost is 15k tuition. 12 K room and board. Yearly. Round up to around 28k

Tuition for oos student is around 45k. The. Travel cost is much higher.

This thread is about T100-T200.

UMD is T60 and UMD CS is like T20

+1 I know of a magnet student a few years ago who was rejected from UMD for STEM.  The student did not have stellar grades or scores, so if OP's DC is not super high achieving, UMD is not a shoo in, especially for something like CS or Eng.[/quote]
