[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the reason why UMD rejects students from Moco is because they think moco kids would go somewhere else instead of UMD? Yield rate?[/quote]

I don't think so. My observation from my county (not MoCo) is UMD attempts to scoop up valedictorians and top ten percent.

In a certain year, I knew of three or four valedictorians who chose UMD. At least one is in honors but I am mot sure that all are.

I’ve also seen evidence they will accept those outside of top ten if student has significant accomplishments, such as national champion.

What about this who are not vals or don't have national championship related to their resume? [/quote]
Those kids are getting in too. That person is uninformed.   Admits are the “top” 20 to 30% of the class from MCPS.   [/quote]

Nope. And if so that is still a high gpa.  We know a few kids not admitted to UMD this year.  These are kids with 4.2+ gaps, AP/IB classes, good SATs, and no they were not all applying to CS. [/quote]

Are they in the top 15-20% of their class? What level of SAT scores?  At some schools, tons of kids fit the profile you mentioned and UMD can't take them all.[/quote]
