[quote=Anonymous]Our DC went to a similarly packed Open House at UMBC about 18 months ago and was similarly turned off. We dragged DC back for a more personal tour of the engineering facilities after DC got accepted. DC grudgingly admitted that UMBC up close and personal was as good as any school they had visited. However, in the same sentence, DC stressed that they had been accepted by several private and OOS schools that merit aid made competitive price wise. In the next sentence, DC explained that the other schools were about 1/3 the size of UMBC so no matter how much UMBC tries and even if they succeed, they are seen as NOT UMd CP and NOT a small supportive engineering school. I think this is why UMBC is excited about their victory over UVa. They are finally getting the idea that if they want to fill a Virginia Tech like niche, they need to become a well rounded large university and NOT be defined by what they are not.[/quote]
