People are full of excuses for poor performance, but when I saw how low the percentage of Einstein students even bothering to take the SATs was a few years ago, I ruled it out as an option.  I'd have been OK with lower scores and higher participation rates, but not a school where so many kids aren't being prepared for much beyond a counter at McDonald's.   Sorry if that's not PC enough for you, but being around high-achieving peers is more important in my opinion to letting kids know what they're facing in a global economy.  The only good thing I hear about Einstein is that you can be a big fish in a small pond, and the pond is getting bigger all the time. [/quote]

Why should you bother to take the SATs if you don't need to? UMCP doesn't require the SAT. Lots of other universities and colleges also don't. And taking the SAT costs money.[/quote]

UMDCP not only requires SAT/ACT, they require students to send in ALL test scores so they can super-score. See this year's freshman profile. UMD's mid-50%tile has been going up every year. Scores on the web link is for CR and Math. UMD doesn't use W portion of SAT.
