[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you contacted your elected officials? The State can make changes to how UMD admits students as it is a state funded and run institution. It's not private. But I would wager, they would come back with exactly the same argument that others on this board have voiced - go to a different state school. [/quote] CA does the same. UCs will take the top x% of every HS, but you are no guaranteed to go to your first choice of Cal or UCLA. IMO, MD does the same, indirectly. The problem is that your high stats kid is competing with other high stat kids in your same school and/or same demographic of SES. And people may say that UMDCP doesn't admit by major, but for majors like CS, they do look at what you want to major in. Your high stat kid can easily get into UMBC or Towson, not so much to UMDCP. Not that different to how other states like CA does it.[/quote]
