Our son is already considering UMD for business even though he got into letters & sciences. With that said, we’ve seen it twice & are going back again to finalize between Penn State where he did get into business school. UMD seems to have a solid program. Your stats much higher so would’ve expected that you got more money. Don’t take it personally, though. I’m reading a lot of articles that explain that state colleges got significant cuts from their stats. I’m betting they desperately need the out of state tuition with little room to offer many scholarships. When we were last at UMD a few weeks ago, a senior told me that UMD is financial pressure so it all makes sense. I think that the more pricey private universities have more endowment money to allocate to top students. With all that said, if your heart is set on working for the government, then UMD is a great location with its proximity to the US Capitol. Curious if you applied to Georgetown with your stats…Good luck with your decision…
