[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would but DD did not get accepted so sending to a nearby state and they’re offering merit that comes in at instate rate. Don’t forget instates are very competitive and not everyone gets in.[/quote]

But did your DD only apply to one?  MD has many state schools and it’s hard to imagine getting rejected at all of them and still being accepted at an OOS.

We’re new to this but our DD is going to an in state over the pricier OOS options. Even with merit aid the price over four years was about $35k more for OOS. We visited and then made a list of pros and cons for all of them and couldn’t figure out a good reason to spend that extra $35k. So she chose one of her in state options. [/quote]

Same for my son when he was deciding last year. He’s doing well in state and is at a well regarded university, but I feel a bit badly because I think he would have loved nicer weather and the school spirit at some of the OOS universities. Greek life was not too appealing to him, so who knows how things would have turned out. The job market is strange indeed, so maybe he’ll end up somewhere “fun” for internships or work. [/quote]
