[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s tough because UMD has become so competitive and I think plenty of students just aren’t as enthusiastic about the next tier of in-state options. I agree that you need to try to keep the framing positive for your student. Sign up for accepted student days at Towson and Salisbury. Transferring to UMD after a year is definitely an option. Maybe these small schools you’re still waiting to hear from will come through with financial aid. My student received unexpected on very generous merit ($45k annually for 4 years) from a small liberal arts college in NY. You never know! A 3.8 UW from MCPS may not be enough for UMD but perhaps one of the private colleges will come out to a reasonable cost and be doable with the funds your family has saved.[/quote] I wouldn't get DC's hopes up about this but, yes, it's possible. Look what happened with Syracuse last year![/quote]
