With a 1440 SAT, a 3.5 GPA through junior year and a 4.3 GPA senior year, it will be interesting to see where kiddo lands.

Thanks for all the input.

Really? I find St. Mary's grads to be very interesting and thoughtful when I bring them in for interviews. Towson has a well-regarding teaching program for students who wish to pursue that path.

DP here. I was going to ask about the St. Mary's comment too. My daughter visited and really liked it. She didn't apply to any other in state schools, although she had the stats for UMD. I was curious about what the PP meant?

St. Mary’s hit or miss. Either your kid loves it or hates it. Not much in the middle.

She had the stats for UMD? What does that mean? A lot of kids with excellent stats get rejected. Not sure if that means anything.

St. Mary’s is much better than Salisbury and Towson. I wouldn’t spend a dime on them.

She had the stats to be a competitive candidate for UMD.
