Nonexistent?

For undergrad, UMD engineering is ranked #25, tied with Minnesota. UVA is ranked #39, tied with Notre Dame, Brown and WashU. How can you compare UMD and Brown??? Oh right.

For CS, UMD is #16. UVA is #30, tied with UChicago, Northwestern and NYU.

Sure, UMD engineering and CS are strong. But to say UVA is nonexistent demonstrates some serious ignorance. But to be expected from insecure UMD boosters.

Don't worry, UMD is a fine, big state school with a few strong programs. UVA is an elite well-rounded school with many strong programs.

Like WHAT?

Hey folks, this kid is a troll. Don't play with them.

Yes, I am a 57 year old kid. So, tell me kid, like what??

Business -- UVA 13 UMD 48
Education -- UVA 16 UMD 33
Engineering -- UVA 40 UMD 22
Law -- UVA 9 UMD 49
Medicine --UVA 26 UMD31
Nursing -- UVA 20 UMD 13
Biology -- UVA 46 UMD 62
Chemistry -- UVA 48 UMD 41
Computer Science -- UVA 30 UMD 16
Math -- UVA 47 UMD 22
Physics -- UVA 44 UMD 14
Economics -- UVA 29 UMD 21
English --UVA 6 UMD 30
History -- UVA 18 UMD 27
Political Science -- UVA 37 UMD 29
Psychology -- UVA 17 UMD 39
Sociology -- UVA 32 UMD 24

UMCP has some strong graduate programs and I do respect phds from UMCP. However, the undergraduate reputation/admission is nothing outstanding except for CS.

That’s because you don’t know much but that’s okay.

Former international student here.

Long time ago while researching on UMCP, I was suprised to learn that:

1. UMCP was not the first state college in Maryland. University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB) was established way earlier.
2. “University of Maryland” can actually mean UMB and to be specific you always have to add a campus name (college park)
3. UMCP doesn’t have any professional schools including law, medicine, dentistry, nursing, etc.
4. Nevertheless, they still call it “flagship” although important professional programs like law and medicine are NONEXISTENT at UMCP.

UMB is not an undergrad college. It's for post-college education (med/pharmacy/law...etc.). They are trying to integrate it now.

We were talking about UMCP, right? Or did OP mean UMB by saying UMD? UMCP wanted to merge with UMB but UMB turned it down. They remain and will remain as separate institutes.

It’s a term that’s been around for nearly 35 years. Look it up. You won’t look like a moron the next time you post!

You should compare each major and see which university is better for that specific major. I am sure you don't go to Harvard Medical School graduate of OBGYN specialty for your brain surgery. You will go to UMD Medical School graduate of brain/neuro surgery specialty.

Yes, and people have been mocking the naked insecurity and sheer idiocy of the term for 35 years.

+1 I can’t think of another term that’s as cringe-inducing as “public Ivy.”
