<p>I would hardly call UMass at $25-30K cheap for instate but it is our barometer for other schools. D has been told that she can choose any school at that price or less but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she has good choices among much less expensive schools and we can reserve the loans for graduate school. But, like I said before, I’d be proud to be the parent of a UMass graduate.</p>
<p>@confusedMominMA ~ sorry to hear about your D’s rejection from Cornell. This is proving to be a difficult weekend for many, in many different circumstances. My D just called from school to tell me her two good friends got ED acceptances, one to Wellesley and one to Brown. Several more are waiting patiently. She, on the other hand, was not allowed to apply ED and feels way out of the loop.</p>
