[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the '90s when I was making these choices, UVA was commonly acknowledged as a "public ivy" and incredible deal. Now it charges as much as an actual ivy, but is mentioned in the same breath as UMD? What happened? Did UMD improve or UVA decline?[/quote]
UMD improved.  IMO, it's due to their rise in STEM which is the hot majors today.  UMD for CS is T15, and it's cheap. [/quote]

To begin in the 90's many Asian-Americans came to Montgomery County (MD) because of the reputation of MCPS, as well as Virginia was seen as more racist against non-Whites.  However, despite excelling in k-12 education, Asian-Americans faced the racism factor during college admission time.  UMD has become a powerhouse because of Asian-American students being rejected from Ivies and top 10 colleges just because they were Asians, and then deciding to go to UMD.

The UMD students in STEM course like Engineering, Math, Physics, CS classes are usually MIT worthy academically. [/quote]
