[quote=Anonymous]To the OP (and others who complain about the system/process): You have opted to participate in this nonsense. You could have scaled back the pressure you put on your kid by aiming for a good state university. And if he couldn't get in initially, then he could do a semester at CC and transfer in. And to those of you who turned down free rides at excellent state schools like UMCP to pay $50-60k at other state schools or private colleges who rank comparably (or sometimes slightly worse), I truly think you are crazy. What are you teaching your kid when you let them turn down a full ride at UMCP and are forced to pay $50k+ for a comparable school that is slightly smaller (that's the typical justification I hear from these parents) because the kid would prefer that school? And the parents who allow their kids to take out loans in that scenario are the worst. [/quote]
