UMD has gotten a lot better and is a great school.

It's not because kids do not want to go to UMD for the most part they can not get it.

UMD takes a huge number of out of state kids for the revenue. Think like 39% unlike UVA..MY oldest  year out of approx 600 graduating students 1/3  class got got accepted. For my last child only 36 kids from same high school got in. About a 8 year difference, but still slowly declining over the years in terms of acceptance.

Also, up until recently UMD had some freshman connection where freshman started in a program where they could not start classes until 3 in the afternoon or live on campus.They created a private dorm at the tune of $12,000 a year. That priced some kids out or some kids going to class at 3 in the afternoon not a good fit. That program has changed.

Now it's the issue for the Business school and taking a bus to the Shady Grove campus. Sorry not for my kids pain in the neck.

One of mine choose UVA over UMD at the time the difference was only a $1000 a year. No reason to go to UMD engineering for that small amount.
