[quote=Anonymous]I have many friends who rave about St. Mary's College of Maryland. One friend from Bethesda said her son had only 3 classes in one of his senior seminar classes and has thrived on all the personal attention. It's somewhat lower-ranked (#80 on US News overall and 5th best public liberal arts college in the US) but appears to have great professors and lots of semesters away options (in D.C. and abroad). https://www.smcm.edu/washingtonprogram/ https://www.smcm.edu/ie/ways-to-study-abroad/ I will have my three kids (all in MCPS middle school and high school magnets) look at it when the time comes just because so many families are pleased with it. https://www.smcm.edu/ University of Maryland Baltimore County was #11 on US News' best undergrad teaching list, just under Stanford. I have heard fewer personal anecdotes about this school. Lots of good options are available that are not in the top 50 in rankings but still great fits for bright kids who tested into magnet programs throughout their educational careers. [/quote]
