[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no issue with UMD but Virginia has better affordable options for the highest achievers; it just does.  I grew up in Virginia and went to UVA.  I would also have been happy at W&M, or at least I considered going there.  In-state was what my parents could afford and it was a fantastic deal.  My family is in Maryland and I do not want to limit my kids to in-state.[/quote]

Highest achievers ?

UMD alum

Larry David - Seinfeld 
Jim Henson- muppets
David Simon - the wire
Kenny Kramm- FlavorX
Alex Severinsky - hybrid engine
Harry Smith- pulse Doppler radar
Kevin Plank- underarmour 
Sergey Brin - Google
George Laurer - the Universal Price Bar Code
Robert Briskman - launched Sirius Satellite      
James Clark - soft contact lenses
Robert Fischell- artificial pancreas, flexible     artery stents , rechargeable pacemaker

Russell Marker- the octane system 
Tim Sweeney- Epic Games / Fortnite 
George Danzig- linear programming 
Carl Bernstein- Broke Watergate

Much larger achievers and world/culture/economic  impact than any UVA grass of modern times. [b]Additionally UMD has more Nobel, Pulitzer, Academy Award, Emmy, Fields medal alumni than all the Virginia schools put together[/b]. That’s why it’s in the B1G 10.[/quote]

Unsubstantiated claim.
