[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Would add that I would argue that your numbers show there aren't as many good mid tier options in MD as Towson and Salisbury are well behind JMU and CNU. A real problem if your kid does not get into UMD.
Also UMBC is such an underrated school. I hope it gets its props in the coming years. People in the academic Scientific community are more aware of it than the general public."

Your comment is not wrong but some of it has to do with the 60K vs 85K difference and the resources that come with numbers.

It also downplays the idea that VA needs to have JMU and CNU because with a 28 ACT you are not going to get into the smaller W&M or UVa.

Whereas UMD is not out of the question if you chose a less competitive major and/or start in the spring.

If you want to parse issues in the ACT distributions, you might wonder about how VT can be such a highly rated engineering school with a 75%ile ACT of 30.

If you look around the web, the numbers for Towson and Salisbury have fluctuated and sometimes get reported as 21-26 even though they are now officially 20-25 as far as I can tell.[/quote]

Can you apply asking for spring admission? What are the stats to make it “not out of the question?” Thanks! [/quote]
