We are in the same boat - limiting our kids to $40k/year.   I was assuming we are limited to in-state schools - I feel we have limited in options in Maryland though and have my doubts whether my kids will get into UMD.  Are there even any out of state options in this price range?  It seems like you would have to  applu to a well endowed private school and just hope that you reveive some merit.  We wont qualify for need-based aid.[/quote]

We are also in Maryland in the same financial boat with a kid who is a good student (4.0/3.7) but won't get into Maryland. He didn't like Salisbury (small town) or UMBC (seems like a commuter school) so it feels anticlimactic that he will only apply to Towson (which he likes well enough.) I would love for him to have other options in our price range.[/quote]

Search privates in the 80+ rankings, and find ones that do give merit.  Be at the 90%+ for your kid and you can get great merit, might even bring cost below cost of towson[/quote]
