[quote=Anonymous]The University of Maryland gets little attention (especially among the private school crowd) here despite being ranked above schools such as VATech, Indiana and Miami of Ohio that are mentioned regularly.  Maryland seems to be held in higher regard by students in New Jersey (1,500 a year go to Maryland) than by DMV students.  Maryland has a 95% retention rate that is in line with Top 25 schools and much higher than other schools in the rankings.

For whatever reason, the state of Maryland (like NJ) is a huge exporter of college students

My sense is that kids outside of Montgomery County are more likely to stay in Maryland, but the inability to tap into the wealth of top Montgomery County students is holding the school back.  Is there more too this?  Is the school deliberately trying to keep Montgomery County from flooding the school (as UVA does with NOVA)? Or is Maryland just not connecting with the best of Montgomery County?
