[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No OP, but I'm curious to know stats of kids who got into UMD Smith School as a direct admit. Is it as competitive as computer science seems to be? [/quote]

maybe more difficult nowadays but 2023 stats for direct admit/honors:
3.9/4.75
1500
main ec - small business with 6 figures revenue annually

i think cs is still more competitive but business is not far off.[/quote]

Just curious...does Smith offer something special with respect to entrepreneurship or otherwise?  I guess I would be far more strategic for college with a kid that has a small business already generating 6 figures annually unless it is something like re-selling tons of stuff on Amazon (where you can have high revenue, but also a high cost of sales...so profit is fairly small) and is not something that your kid intends to continue for a career.

Again, not saying Smith does not satisfy that strategy, but would probably be a different college search in general.[/quote]

Yeah it was the revenue, margin is probably 15%. It's probably not something he is going to do long term but who knows. I think it's a good learning experience and involve a lot market analysis, searching for trends, buyers, etc.
