[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does UMD care about EC, such as leadership, sports, etc? Is it friendly to high stats students without much EC, especially from good public high schools in MD? I know CS in UMD is very competitive. How about EE? Is it a bit easier to get in?[/quote] They like to scoop up as many students from the top 10% as they can. If your child is in the top 10% of their class, they have a good chance of gaining admittance. If they are valedictorian, their chances increase by a lot. One of mine was accepted and ECs were good but not tippy top, but they were top 10%. They are also good at sussing out who would likely be accepted at an Ivy and giving them scholarship offers. Kids who can't afford the Ivy route come to UMD and the school (and state probably) benefits. [/quote]
