[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me personally, my High School a ton of high GPA kids did not get into University of Maryland at College Park that would have got in prior to this year.

My daughter is going to an OOS school because of this. Her roommate amazingly is a girl the youngest of four whose three oldest siblings with to UMD at College Park and she did not get in and she had the highest GPA of the Four of them. My daughter had a higher GPA and SAT score her sister five years older who got into to UMD.

I think MCPS in general in particular W schools did not prepare parents of the two factors, 2007 was a huge birth rate year and UMD being strict on limiting amount of kids per High School attending. Lot of parents scrambled last minute to pay for OOS schools due to this.

Luckily 2009 was a low birth year rate due to financial crisis so parents of 10th graders will have it easier.

It is what it is. But MCPS should have better prepared kids and parents that their 4.5/4.6 GPA kid most likely will be rejected from the in state flag ship and they need to plan. [/quote]

Yes. Maryland was brutal with college acceptances this year. If you didn't apply Early Action, you got decimated in the RD round.[/quote]
