[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of five kids from the Blair science magnet in MCPS who didn’t get into UMD. I think of that as a safety for those kiddos but I guess not![/quote]

MoCo families need to lobby the Governor to enact legislation requiring more in-state—and MoCo—-acceptances at UMCP.

UNC is hard to get into from out of state because they prioritize in-state.

UMCP overcorrected when it came to increasing diversity…to the detriment of white Marylanders. And MoCo always gets the short end of the stick. [/quote]

I feel like this is the same conversation that every state has when they see OOS students get into their in-state school over their in-state student.  For example, when University of Florida decisions came out, there were so many ugly posts all over facebook and college confidential about how OOS students were taking "their kids'" spots.  I have never seen such animosity towards OOS students before.  I get limiting OOS spots, but don't all state schools already do that.  Also, for OOS applicants, their stats usually need to be much higher than in-state kids to get in. [/quote]
