[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow Churchill was impressive![/quote]

A bit misleading at Churchill. UMD screwed Churchill hard this year. My kid with a 4.7 GPA and 13 APs could not get in even on wait list or delayed program. It skewed it a bit. A lot of those kids who wanted UMD to go instate had to go out of state. And with those GPAs they got into good schools. My kid I said if I am paying full freight pick the best school possible OOS.

And it went other way. My kid has two friends with almost a 4.8 WGPA who at at MoCo community college as parents did not want to pay OOS tuition and did not get into UMD. They plan to transfer over. My kids friends got into a bunch of great schools and still at MoCo. I am like she got into Pitt, Penn, American, NYU, and going to MoCo? Yep parents wont pay. So that also makes list look weird.

ok, i asked gemini to rewrite this so I can understand:

This year's college list for Churchill might look a little strange because the University of Maryland was incredibly difficult for our students to get into.

My kid, with a 4.7 GPA and 13 APs, was rejected. Because many of these high-achieving students couldn't get into their top in-state choice, they ended up at excellent out-of-state schools instead.

At the same time, a lot of top students who didn't get into UMD are now at Montgomery College because their parents don't want to pay out-of-state tuition. I know of students with nearly a 4.8 GPA—one of whom had offers from Pitt and NYU—who are at MC with plans to transfer to UMD later. So the data is skewed, with top students either going to prestigious out-of-state schools or starting at community college.
