[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has to be something more to the course completion data - might be with &quot;C&quot; or higher, which could knock out a lot of kids passing classes with Ds.

RMHS has 37.4% meeting UM system requirements on At-a-Glance. 2018 graduates were ~600. 2018 had 142/298 accepted to UMDCP (48% of applicants, 24% of graduates), with the majority with &gt;3.0 unweighted GPA, &gt;3.75 weighted GPA.[/quote]

The 37% number seems very low when you consider !that 20% approx are IB and certainly qualify so that leaves very few non ib kids.  Also the 142 accepted is very close to a third of the senior class.  It is unlikely all of the unaccepted students applied even though they did not meet the requirements for acceptance.[/quote]

RM has Twinbrook, Lincoln Park and more.  They put the IB in that school for a reason. [/quote]

Twinbrook is a tiny ES.  The put IB in RM in the 80's..before King Farm, Parc Potomac, Falls Grove.    It is unlikely that none of the unaccepted applicants met the admissions criteria and all of the students who did not apply were also unqualified.  [/quote]
