[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After speaking with countless locals and a handful of fancy sat/act prep college application gurus, here’s my two cents (as a UMCP alum married to an alum):

-the school prioritized diversity for a period and many white families soured on the school as their white kids were rejected while their diverse friends with comparable or worse stats made it in

-the school started prioritizing more OOS students

-kids still want to go there (or their families do), but it’s a crapshoot whether they will get in

-college application experts say while they can almost always predict whether a kid can get in or if it’s a reach, they can’t accurately predict UMCP. And nobody likes a crapshoot.

-kids are still applying, but not getting in…and then they/their families trash the school.

-a prof penned a bizarre rant that went viral and it likely turned off people

-MD Asian and Indian families are staying put at UMCP. White families with $$$ in MD are looking elsewhere. [/quote]
You just described many of the VA state schools as well. Same thing happening over here.  IT seems so many kids are now going to state flagships OOS instead of their own because they got frozen out. [/quote]
