[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accepted: Purdue, Case Western, Northeastern, WPI, U of Arizona

Deferred: Ohio State

Rejected: University of Maryland

Still waiting: RPI, Harvey Mudd and U of Washington

Such a strange process. Ohio was a safety and getting rejected from state school was a little shocking. But the acceptances were exciting. It really does seem like a crapshoot. [/quote]

Congrats. Accepted at Northeastern but denied at UMD - crazy.[/quote]

UMD is a better school.[/quote]

Is this a joke?

Many kids are going to state schools due to cost.  That doesn't mean they are the better school.  It just means more are applying.  Every school on there but [b]Arizona and Ohio is better than Maryland in my opinion[/b].  [/quote]

The Common Data sets tell us otherwise.

UMD-CP and Northeastern are very similar vis-a-vis the Common Data Sets.

[b]Many kids are going to state schools because they are good schools with a high-performing student body.[/b]

[/quote]

I think many kids are going to state schools because UMD costs $20K and Northeastern costs 65K 
[/quote]

Yes.  And because UMD is an equal experience in terms of the student body and education, and has a similarly great reputation.

But UMD costs about $27K, not $20K.[/quote]

It is not an equal experience. Come on now. It is not a terrible school, but it is not UVA or UMich. It is the only decent state school in the whole state.  Nothing to compare it to. The only truly smart kids going there are going to due to cost or aid. Most apply for the safety factor. [/quote]

[u]Northeastern University:[/u]

SAT Scores of Enrolled Freshmen
SAT Math	690-770 range of middle 50%
SAT Critical Reading	680-750 range of middle 50%
ACT Composite	32-34 range of middle 50%

Grade Point Average of Enrolled Freshmen (4.0 scale)
Average GPA	Not reported

[u]UMD-College Park:[/u]

SAT Scores of Enrolled Freshmen
SAT Math	650-750 range of middle 50%
SAT Critical Reading	640-720 range of middle 50%
ACT Composite	29-33 range of middle 50%

Grade Point Average of Enrolled Freshmen (4.0 scale)
Average GPA	4.26
...

The differences are not meaningful.[/quote]

Wasn’t this discussed here on another thread that UMD has a higher GPA average than Harvard, MIT, and all the ivies? We all know that is impossible. Their average test scores show that they very much only look at these inflated GPA’s and not rigor or holistically. I  would love to see this average without the MCPS inflated and weighted grades. I doubt anyone at Case, Northeastern have ACT below 29 and that is 50% at UMD.

Either way, this thread is hijacked. For parents who sent their kids to UMD, it is the best school. For those that chose not to, it is subpar.

Moving on...

Can someone else chime in with 2023 acceptances etc...[/quote]
