[quote=Anonymous]This is a really weird thread. 
I would agree that getting into a top 20 school requires much more than great stats. Without a hook, it would be tough unless an applicant has something else that makes their application stand out such as a national level award. This is especially true for magnet students since they are trying to stand out from their peers, many of whom have high stats. 
However I can’t believe that adults on this forum are suggesting that students misrepresent their activities and accomplishments or try to find out what other students have done. 
College is the beginning of your child’s journey into adulthood. Do you want them to begin that journey in such a way?  
OP your child is intelligent and hardworking. He/she will do well at any of the dozens of universities and colleges where he can receive a fantastic education. Apply to a variety of schools- there are gems in every tier. It is also important to speak about mid tier colleges with respect so your child can consider them with an open mind and without prejudice 
Also, considering that nearly half the magnet students end up at UMD, you would be wise to consider this option with an open mind and without prejudice as their stem programs are very good. [/quote]
