[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know anyone who hates on UMD. Everyone I know thinks very highly of it. Kids from all over the country are dying to get in.[/quote]

I am from Maryland, and think poorly of it. Moved to VA for better state schools for my kids. It’s not well regarded with the private school set. [/quote]

Oh Lord. UMD is the 2nd top public university in the DC/MD/VA area after UVA. We're private school parents and have never heard of UMD as being poorly regarded. That's ridiculous. [/quote]

+2 I have had kids at 3 different DMV private high schools and UMD is considered a top choice if one wants to stay close to home. [/quote]

+3 My son is heading there from a well-known private in MoCo. It's a great school and a hard admit. It's quality has improved faster than its reputation. People still acting like it is the UMD of the 90s/00s. It's not. And people are finding out via a challenging admissions profile and lots of rejections of kids who would have been a slam dunk a decade ago.[/quote]
