[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Towson and umbc do not have national recognition. Virginia tech, William and Mary, and to a lesser extent vcu, gmu and jmu do. For a kid that strives through high school, Towson and umbc don’t feel like adequate placement for their effort. As a Maryland parent, I really had no case that either is a good option for a great student. [/quote] Virginia is a larger state to it makes sense to have more options. Maybe if everyone stopped downplaying all the maryland options they would have a better reputation. George Mason and UMBC in my mind are completely comparable. Also for UMD admissions I think parents are missing that the kids are being compared to the kids in their local HS. It's going to be harder to get into from a "top" private or affluent MCPS school. Same as with any school. [/quote]
