[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you pay for slac? Or oos state schools? Like Michigan tuition is 50k out of state. My DS was accepted but we couldn’t justify the cost to attend Michigan when he could just go to UMD for a fraction of the cost. Just curious how do families pay for schools that are over 70k .[/quote]

Funny you ask this but I was a MD resident 15 years ago when I was accepted to Michigan and UMD, and it was actually MORE expensive for me to attend college park because of how little aid they gave aside from loans. Michigan was very generous with grants - even as an OOS student - so I ended up going to Michigan over MD for purely economic reasons. Wasn't too caught up in which school was better at that time b/c I was just a typical lazy high school student, lol.[/quote]

This was our situation just a few years ago. Well, not Michigan (Michigan waitlisted my kid who would have loved to go there) but a private high-sticker-price school with a reputation for bad aid gave my musician a full tuition scholarship. Every college except Maryland gave a music scholarship and they were all cheaper than MD. It's a shame because the professor at MD in his instrument is very strong and he would have loved to study with him - but it was more money.[/quote]
