[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More interesting than lecturing OP on what he or she should do with income is considering the point that while many Wilson kids can get into top tier colleges that do not provide merit aid, many cannot afford to attend but rather choose state or "second-tier" schools.  [b]It is important to consider this when using the colleges attended by Wilson grads versus privates as a proxy for the education provided by each.[/b]  [/quote]

Half the graduating class at the Montgomery Blair Math/Science Magnet enrolls at UMD-CP - not because they can't get into highly-ranked schools, but because of the expense of paying full price for those schools.[/quote]

I agree with above and also want to point out that many high achieving students are likely to attend graduate school.  We are on track (touch wood) to barely (!) afford one degree for ds but we will encourage him to consider UMD-CP in order to save some of that for grad. school.   We did not think about this when we started saving for college but it has increasingly become clear to us that he will probably go to grad school (he is in a magnet HS in MCPS).   [/quote]
