| My B student got in OOS with merit last year. I wonder if the increasing competitiveness of UMDCP is increasing applications to SMCM? |

| Are you out of state? Did she submit any test scores? Maybe do a semester of cc and then transfer? |

| Instate. Test optional. |

| SMCM accepted our B student test-optional kid. Kid declined - too far out in the sticks. We all hated the drive there. |

+1 Following threads on instate MD schools. I have a junior hyperfocused on UMD but need to be ready for SMCM, umbc or Towson as a back-up. I think these will all get more competitive this year and beyond. Hopefully my second kid who is a B student will still have a chance in a few years! |

| OP can you share the other SLACs you got in? Have a B kid and building our list. |

I won’t name them but in the #50-80 rankings lots of merit one, moderate merit other. Happy with both

| Due to the CTCL thread that derailed a bit, one school is on it and no need to awaken the troll on that thread again |

Congrats, OP! I am an alum of SMCM and absolutely loved my time there. If your DD ends up attending, I hope she loves it too! |
