[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to +1 the folks mentioning UMBC, Towson, St. Mary's, etc. In practice, every Maryland kid who does reasonably well can get in SOMEWHERE but the idea that every kid should be guaranteed UMDCP is bonkers.

If you look at Maryland's statistics, they get about 65,000 applications. They admit about 30,000 and about about 5,500 attend.

Towson gets about 22,000 applications, admits about 7,000 and enrolls about 3,500.

Both are taxpayer funded, and both offer a pretty decent admissions shot for a qualified kid actually.

This feels closer to how it works in NY for the SUNY schools.

There are many different options and it seems like there's a SUNY that's a good fit for every decent NY student who wants to go to one.

It's overall a flatter system than many state school systems. Though I think SUNY Binghamton is considered the hardest to get into, it's not like there's a huge drop off between Bing and many of the other SUNY schools. Each offers its own value and every decent NY student can find their fit at in-state rates if they want.
