[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you’ve confirmed something I’ve long suspected. My kid goes to a lesser ranked public high school and the neighborhood just nearby is a much higher ranked high school. I always suspected that he would end up in the same place as the rich kids nearby, but they would be disappointed they ended up there while he will be satisfied. He would really like to go to CP and doesn’t know anyone at his high school who would make him feel ashamed of it.[/quote]

We go to a high school with "rich kids" and no one at our schools makes other students feel ashamed of going to UMD. A lot of the "rich kids," as you say, were rejected this year. So not sure why you think being rich has anything to do with whether kids approve or don't approve of UMD. You honestly sound jealous.[/quote]

PP made a very good and true point, you seem to have missed it.[/quote]

Kids at our rich public school do not approve of umd. They sneer, they look down, they judge you. The assumption is you didn’t get in anywhere else because you are not that smart or you are too poor to pay oos or go private college. I am sure it’s coming from their parents. Deciding to attend umd if you go to our school is like going against the tide. [/quote]
