[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My only comment for you is that if your kid needs merit aid for undergrad and is considering med school, go in-state.  Save any money for med school.

I would say go in state if it's the cheapest option.

Sometimes, with need based aid and merit aid, the cheapest option isn't your in state schools.  I know plenty of people in that situation.   [/quote]

The OP doesn't mention needing need-based aid, only merit, so I have a feeling they won't qualify for much need. Maryland likely won't be cheaper than a SUNY. Yes, they need to go with the cheapest option, which could theoretically be private. Med school is hella expensive. Save your $$ for med school!  Maryland out-of-state tuition & fees is almost $42K (this is before housing). SUNY instate tuition & fees is around $9K per year (again, before housing). That means she's got to get a ton of aid for them to become closer numbers.

Binghamton instate is 32K according to the website.[/quote]

That’s for instate tuition, fees , room and  board.
