[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]university system requires at least 70% of undergraduates be MD residents[/quote]

Are about 18% from Montgomery county MD?[/quote]
https://reports.umd.edu/tableaupublic/1824

Montgomery County accounts for 35.2% (8339/23635) of the undergraduate population at UMD, compared to only being 18% of the total population of Maryland. MoCo isn't being shorted with respect to attendance at UMD.[/quote]

Now do it for kids with sats over 1500, or kids who got 5s on AP Calc BC.  I bet McPS is being shortchanged with respect to high stats kids.  Families in this state who care about education often move to McPS so we have a disproportionate number of highly qualified kids.  We moved here from PG for instance. [/quote]

I have heard that it is easier to get into UMCP if you graduate from PGCPS than MCPS.   It's not just about DEI because most of the kids I know from PG at UMCP are white.  Eleanor Roosevelt High School seems to have a huge number of kids that transition over to UMCP.  
Someone told me that UMCP sets aside X% of seats for each county based on the population of that county. I have no idea if it is true or not.
