I'm surprised that UMD is a "target." It's pretty competitive, even for top students.[/quote]

I'm surprised that you're surprised. Compared to the reach schools listed, it absolutely is a target.[/quote]

It probably depends on whether the kid is in MCPS or not.  Getting into engineering from MCPS is as hard as the reach schools except MIT.  If you're in PGPS, or one of the rural counties, or if you're in Virginia or DC, it will be substantially easier.  You could have a 4.0 UW and a 1550 with great APs from one of the MCPS W schools and still not get in -- it's just too random.[/quote]

I suppose in-state tuition and all.

"There is no separate application; your admission application to the university will also be reviewed by committee within the Clark School.  Currently, about 40% of those who apply are admitted.
Admissions into the Clark School closely mirrors that of the overall university, considering 24 factors as a part of a holistic review."
