Congrats on UMD! Your S can get a great education at any of those choices so tell him to relax, he can’t make a bad decision. If the financial side is a priority, go with the instate option. If all are financially acceptable, attend the admitted student days and then let him go with his gut. When our kids got down to the final 2 contenders, we visited them back to back and they each came away with a decision. Personally, I like UMD (it was my S’s #2 choice behind UMiami), but your S will have the opportunity for a great experience, both academic and social, at any of the 3 schools.
