[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that they do offer 150 full rides, but not all kids take them.  Some choose Ivies instead.[/quote]

They offer more than 150 BK every year (full and partial combined) based on historical yield. About 150 ends up at UMD. Some choose other top tier schools indeed. We won two BK. Both kids attended UMD - absolutely no regrets. [/quote]

What stats for those two?[/quote]

My two kids had similar high stats. One got a full ride, the other got partial. Stats - both NMF/NMS, 36 ACT, Presidential Scholar nominees, both took confirmation SAT but not sure what the score was/whether they used it, high GPA from a MoCo public.

I have heard over the years that it's not strictly stats driven selection. If you research how UMD created B/K scholarship, it's not hard to understand why.

Good luck to those waiting.  [/quote]

Is it your understanding that everyone invited to interview gets at least a partial scholarship?  DC is interviewing later this month.[/quote]

Yes, if your kid is invited to interview, he/she won at least partial already. The only question is full vs partial, not something vs. nothing.

On the interview day, go with your kid. UMD rolls out the red carpet for these kids. Nice meal, and kids go have their interviews. Only about 10-15 min... It's a great day to enjoy. [/quote]
