[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP is a pharmacist they. they probably don’t know what current grade inflation and college admissions is like.
Will a B student (3.0 UW) get into UMD?  I don’t know.  Can someone tell me where those kids are getting in?  I keep hearing UMD is not a lock for my 3.9 UW kid and I’m scared for the younger one who will likely have a lower GPA.[/quote]
I think it also depends on the major and where you are from.

It's definitely difficult to get into from high achieving schools where there are so many of these kids.  The admissions person at UMD stated: "This is not the University of Montgomery county".  They could fill the entire school with just high achieving MoCo students. But, they aren't going to do that.

Having stated that, I think a 3.9 uwgpa kid would be fine. They may not get direct admit to an LEP, like CS, but I think they'd get into UMD.

I have a high achieving kid at UMD, and another younger DC who is a B student. I don't think the B student will get into UMD.  I'm hoping for UMBC at best.

College admissions is freakin nuts now.[/quote]
