[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no magic bullet op.  Your kid didn’t pick safeties she wanted to  attend.  She didn’t pick targets that  she could afford.  No one can change that now.  Either add schools with late deadlines (unlikely to be schools more appealing than her current safeties), take a gap year and do more research next year, or help her  come to terms with the schools she can afford, apparently Towson and Salisbury.  Alternatively she can go to community college and transfer afterwards to Maryland, or another affordable state school.[/quote]

Yes, what about CC then automatic transfer to UMD. Or a year at Towson, then apply to transfer. Great suggestion.[/quote]

Agree, I think aiming for UMD CP makes the most sense. Looks like it's very doable.

"Yes, you can transfer from Towson University to the University of Maryland (UMD). To be a competitive applicant, you should have at least 30 college credits, a solid B average (or higher), and complete math/English requirements by the early action deadlines of March 1 for fall or August 1 for spring."

Also for transfer students SAT scores don't usually matter, since they don't count toward the university's official stats.

I feel for your DD, OP. Be extra kind to her and try to get her to see it as a temporary setback.[/quote]
