[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is worthless without stats.

-HS type (private prep, parochial, public, magnet)
-In state or OOS
-W and UW GPAs
-SAT or ACT
-Where else were they accepted?[/quote]

well, I can tell you who did NOT get one
public magnet
in-state
weighted 4.8 GPA
1580 SAT
14 APs[/quote]

Are you talking about my kid?  :shock: 
Our stats also include - Asian-American male. CS Honors. Prepaid MD Trust. 400K HHI.  I did not think we would qualify in any way for UMD.  And if he would have been given a merit scholarship, we would have declined the monetary part. [/quote]

Is your dc accepted to honors at UMD?[/quote]

Sorry I see CS honors.[/quote]

Yes, UMD CS honors.  It seems they are not giving it to many in-state magnet kids with good HHI or savings.   I understand the logic because monetarily this scholarship should go to kids who need it. In fact, I am all for having some more scholarships for students who have potential but may not have very high stats.

Still, a part of me would have liked the honor and a token scholarship of $1. Similar to how for most people,  NMSF is for the honor and not the scholarship.  And yet, it can be life changing for someone who has no money because so many colleges will give tuition, board and stipend. [/quote]
