[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Churchill kid had similar stats (1550), lots of APs, 2 Bs overall,  high AP scores. This was a couple of years ago and was admitted to the Scholars program at UMD.  But there were a couple of kids with similar stats who didn't get in. But I don't know their profiles in detail-- just SAT and the fact that they're in lots of APs with "high GPA."   [b]I also know people from W schools admitted to Penn and and Georgetown in the last couple of years who weren't admitted to UMD. [/b] I guess that makes it a match for those stats?  (A match is a school where you're pretty likely but not necessarily be admitted.). I wouldn't count it as a safety for anyone.

Check scattergrams for more detail. [/quote]

I can only believe this is true for Georgetown, which has a 12% admissions rate (Penn is less selective than UMD, so it's moot) if the student applied regular decision to UMD. It's well known that you need to apply early action, because UMD takes the majority of its freshman class from its EA round. [/quote]
