Thanks for everyone’s input. We certainly have run the NPC on these options and are keeping a spreadsheet on costs, and GPA and SAT targets from the CDS.
We have the possibility of applying for Tuition Exchange through the college where we work. Although it is extremely competitive and not a given. In fact, it seems to make this process more confusing.
For state flagship schools like Maryland it’s hard to make sense of what the OOS admit rates and stats are. I am just going to assume that we’ll need to be over the 50th percentile - unless its a school like West Virginia that has posted auto merit for OOS.
