Not fine for these schools:

+1 now a days you can't even get into UMD with a B- gpa.   I know someone who went to a magnet program in MCPS, high B average, denied at UMD. They went some place else - &lt; T200. Will they be &quot;fine&quot;? Probably because they are a STEM major.

But, getting into a decent college these days is so much harder than even 10 years ago. Where you go does have some impact on how you end up. Of course, there are anecdotal stories of people who went to a &lt; T200 and did fine (myself included, with some luck due to right place and right time), but it's anecdotal.  Look at the stats.   You don't have to make six figures coming out of college, but in 15 years if you are still struggling financially, then paying $200K for a college degree wasn't really worth it.  That is why we have so many people struggling to pay off their loans.[/quote]

Huh? You couldn't get into Maryland 20 years ago with a B. So much Maryland hate on this board but it's actually a really nice flagship - and ranked similarly to a lot of schools you would never say that about: Rochester, William & Mary, Case and even the DCUM parent favorite, Va Tech.
