I think this is going to be more and more true as UMD rejects more and more kids. I am interested in seeing the data in coming years for Towson - if they get more selective because they have high achieving kids who didn't make the UMD cut applying. [/quote]
I think the same goes for UMBC.[/quote]

Agree.  Kind of weird that my 4.0 kid and 3.0 kid may end up at the same school. One of them will not be happy about it. [/quote]

This. My kid has a 4.2 (AP/IB/DE) captain of varsity sport, blah blah and didn't get into UMD so is going to Towson (we need instate tuition - he applied to a few OOS options and the nearest any of them came to instate costs after merit was about $10k more/year which we could not do. His BFF barely has a 3.0 and pretty much skated by in HS and not doing anything extra is also going to Towson. My kid "only" got $2000 in merit so there wasn't really even a significant cost difference. [/quote]

Wow. He won’t take out loans? [/quote]
Unless you're going to a T20 in a lucrative field, a loan is a terrible idea.[/quote]

Agree plus the cap on student loans is around $6k per year. Parents need to take the big loans. Im in my 50s I need to start on the catch-up contributions to my 401k not paying student loans.  Towson over loans any day.[/quote]
