[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure I would put UVA and UMD in same category.  You are going to OOS public instead of in state UVA because you didn't get into UVA.  Not many Michigan, UCLA and UNC admit cases.  UMD, while a really good school and not that easy to get into instate -- it is not a highly ranked public, more middle of the road. So very likely the OOS is better and you may have even received some merit to make it comparable in price.  Add in the allure of geographic diversity and some more interesting places to go to school than College Park and there is your answer. Still think UMD is great choice, great school but not the same declines as UVA......[/quote]
UMDCP is Top 50, higher than the mentioned Penn State, Ohio State, etc.., and even higher than UVA for STEM majors.[/quote]

It’s really not. Ohio State is consistently ranked higher (most recent US News for example- OSU is #16 top publics and UMD is #19) and Maryland is ranked equal with Rutgers and Florida State. Locally we know that Computer Science at UMD is 2nd to none, Stem is rigorous and that many high achieving kids are rejected. But nationally, Maryland is not a “highly ranked public” the likes of UVA, Georgia Tech, UNC, Florida, Texas, Wisconsin, etc. at least by my definition, which would be like the top 10 ranked publics. UVA is nationally recognized, the two should not be analyzed the same imo. [/quote]
