3.5 Big 3 kid: accepted Amherst,  Wesleyan, Sarah Lawrence, UMCP Scholars, University of Miami( with merit aid); deferred Harvard: Waiting on three other ivies plus final form Harvard. [/quote]

I am glad you posted – – with 20 pages, clearly people are interested in this issue and like hearing specific anecdotes. Sounds like a great outcome for your child, congrats.   Don't worry about all the grumps.[/quote]

+1 With a DS with similar profile--though a few years out still--I find it quite encouraging to hear results. Thank you.[/quote]

I agree it's very helpful. I have a junior DD at Holton with similar GPA and she really wants UMCP Scholars. She has 35s on her first ACT for English and Reading and hoping to bring up math/science to get a similar overall.  Do many students at sidwell get invited to Scholars? Just curious if you know.[/quote]

Yes. My DC says that almost all Sidwell students get into UMCP.  many are offered the scholars or honors program. These are great programs because the student has some smaller seminar type classes even in freshman and Sophmore years.  The scholars program also encourages community involvement. If your DD does well at Holton, I.e. has a b+ average or so, and is involved with her community then I think her chances would be excellent...of course I am just a parent, but that is my impression

I am surprised that many Sidwell kids apply to UMCP. I know recently more applied to Michigan than Maryland. Maybe there is more acceptance of UMD than there was in my day. How many kids from Sidwell actually go to UMD? I think 1 from my class went.[/quote]
