Is this school a good one for undergrad business degree?
We live in DC. How competitive is it to get in? |

Be sure to look at the UMD website for information.
It is highly ranked (might be different this year - didn't look) https://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/news/us-news-ranks-maryland-smith-among-top-business-schools It is a limited enrollment program (LEP) which means it is competitive to get in to. https://admissions.umd.edu/explore/majors/limited-enrollment-programs |

| It's obviously not a target or semi-target school but one of the vey good options below that |

Huh? It’s a state flagship land grant university. Of course it’s a “target.” |

+1 And unless your kid has top stats, it's actually a reach. |

I think it may be an easier admit from DC proper than from MoCo, actually. In part because top students from Maryland would be fools not to apply, so everyone better than you in your high school is applying, but top students from DC have many competitive options at the same OOS price. |

Here is info for where students are from: https://reports.umd.edu/tableaupublic/1824 DC - 537 undergraduates MoCo - 10,512 undergrads I know that doesn't show stats, but it gives a sense of comparison. Here's 2021 fall stats: https://irpa.umd.edu/CampusCounts/Admissions/apps_ug.pdf I think 2022 fall will come out in October. A couple snapshots of enrollment by school: https://irpa.umd.edu/CampusCounts/Enrollments/enroll_by_coll.pdf https://irpa.umd.edu/CampusCounts/Enrollments/spring_enroll.pdf |

| If you don't apply EA to UMD, you pretty much have no chance to get accepted. |

| If your child wants business - you want you kid to be a direct admit to the business school. Very difficult to transfer in. |
