[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, but then why do more large public MCPS make the list than large FCPS schools?  That was my question. [/quote]

Because of U.Va.  Big percent of the class at TJ goes to U.Va.  Md. doesn't have an equivalent.[/quote]
Wrong, about 40% Blair magnet students go to UMD,  which is actually a STEM powerhouse while UVA is not.
One has to wonder why go to all the troubles of going to TJ just to end up at UVA.[/quote]

STEM powerhouse is a reach, when MD ranks number 25 in engineering while Virginia Tech (the less of the UVA schools) ranks at 13.

Nice attempt at Terp Pride though. It's a shame that your basketball team and your football team went down the tubes. Kinda like Blair's magnet program.[/quote]
VT is unranked Graduate program while UMD is ranked 22.

And UVA is #4.

Your point?

Oh yeah. Throw out completely irrelevant numbers that don’t apply to high schoolers because you can’t do anything else. #twerps[/quote]
In which STEM program? 
Man, you all are clueless [/quote]

First off, you keep pounding STEM, like it's somehow just one thing. (Just a refresher, STEM = SCIENCE TECH ENGINEERING MATH).

If you read the threads, a poster already mentioned that MD isn't as highly ranked as VT in ENGINEERING. Which is several fields.

If you really want to push the whole UMD is a "juggernaut" in STEM, you need to actually somehow prove that it's better than VT. Other posters didn't claim that: they claimed that UVA is #4 in Public Colleges/Uni while MD isn't that high and doesn't rank in anything other than CompSci.. You however, are somehow stuck on this STEM thing, and so other posters have pointed out how other schools can be better than UMD at STEM (in this case engineering) such that there is no way that UMD is a "juggernaut."

I understand this is hard for you. MD used to be a great school. Top 10. It's slipped. Get over it.[/quote]
