[quote=Anonymous]Responding to original question. Yes, it is difficult to get in to UMD College Park these days. My DS, who went to public school, was admitted for fall 2017, but a lot of her friends who expected to get in, most of them from private schools, did not get in. To have a good chance for admission, I recommend getting a very high SAT or ACT score. Start test taking early and keep taking until a high score is achieved. Your child must take the most difficult classes offered at his/her high school and do well in them. Your child should be in the top 10% of his/her class and have solid extra curriculars. Aim at the Ivy's and you should be ok for UMD. If your child is majoring in business, engineering or pre-med, I recommend looking at the University of Pittsburgh as a safety. Apply early, they accept applications in the summer. Pitt awards great merit aid that will make cost equal to UMD. They seem to admit a lot of students from Maryland. Good luck![/quote]
