[quote=Anonymous]You need to remember that these are not application schools, they draw from a wide range of people and a wider range of incomes than the private schools. The top 100-200 kids are probably equivalent to a top private school. Those kids have very good results. You also need to keep in mind that a decent number of kids actually want to go to Maryland, which is not the case at private schools. Many of their parents are UMD alums. And for a not insignificant number of families instate tuition is critical. Several of my DCs friends chose UMD over higher ranked schools because of money. There are also swings from year to year. Someone mentioned Dartmouth - in my DCs class at least 4 kids went to Dartmouth and more were accepted. Other years it might be 1.[/quote]
