<p>Why so few posts? Pros, cons?</p>
<p>hayze, I don't know. I guess its because a lot of MD kids want to be at UMD. We visited, my son was accepted (this is a rolling school and Towson let my son know that he was accepted within 10 days), but we are also OOS, and there was no FA or merit aid for our son. 3 years ago they expected us to come up with 28k. My son did not even get a subsidized Stafford Loan! Also, recently they have tripled a lot of freshmen. One classmate of my son's attended for one year. The other 2 roommates took over the room. She was left with very little space for her belongings. I don't know the details as to whether she tried to speak up for herself, but she did not have proper storage all year. She also found that students did not have money to eat out, or do anything off campus. Campus food was filled with pastas/pizza. She needed to get a meal off campus on occasion. Anyway, she transferred to another school after a year. Classes are pretty small for a public U!</p>
<p>where did she transfer too?</p>
<p>I have been waitlisted for Towson University. I have heard their list is not ranked; so, I really don’t know how they utilize it. Does anyone know of anyone getting selected off their waitlist?</p>
<p>What were your GPA and SAT? I’m applying to Towson next year and I’m curious as to what numbers they’re looking for.</p>
<p>GPA - 3.48
SAT - 480 Math, 540 Reading, 550</p>
<p>Perhaps you can send an email or call someone in admissions to ask what your or your D’s chances are for getting off the W/L. I know that my son and some of his friends (OOS) did not matriculate to Towson (3 years ago) because they did not offer any money. LOL, their financial package just told us that we (parents) may borrow the full cost of the school through PLUS loans if we qualified. I don’t think so!!</p>
<p>What? Now that is a joke!!! Basically, there WAS no financial aide package!!! Did he ever visit Towson? Did he like it? Where did your son end up going?</p>
<p>Northeast mom, I just called Towson and they are very secretive with their wait list. The young lady would not tell me a thing!</p>
<p>I’ll send a PM to you.</p>
