[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am interested to know how the bottom half does as well.[/quote] I have two kids graduated from RMIB. While I'd hate to characterize as "bottom half" vs "top half", I can try to answer your question. Kids usually end of one of three groups - top tier schools (Ivy, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, CMU...etc.) w/ full pay; UMD with significant merit scholarship; or UMD with smaller or no merit scholarship. The remaining students (i.e., the fourth group) end up all over the map for various reasons. [/quote] Many of the students who go to UMD-CP and to second and third-tier schools do so not because they couldn't get into top-tier schools, but because their affluent families (who can neither afford to be full-pay, nor qualify for need-based aid) cannot afford to pay for such schools. Name brands are often used as a proxy for achievement on DCUM, but there is far more to the story than that.[/quote]
