[quote=Anonymous]After speaking with countless locals and a handful of fancy sat/act prep college application gurus, here’s my two cents (as a UMCP alum married to an alum): -the school prioritized diversity for a period and many white families soured on the school as their white kids were rejected while their diverse friends with comparable or worse stats made it in -the school started prioritizing more OOS students -kids still want to go there (or their families do), but it’s a crapshoot whether they will get in -college application experts say while they can almost always predict whether a kid can get in or if it’s a reach, they can’t accurately predict UMCP. And nobody likes a crapshoot. -kids are still applying, but not getting in…and then they/their families trash the school. -a prof penned a bizarre rant that went viral and it likely turned off people -MD Asian and Indian families are staying put at UMCP. White families with $$$ in MD are looking elsewhere. [/quote]
