[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4.93w/4.0uw in IB magnet with 35 ACT and solid EC’s[/quote]

That's insane. Are they planning to attend? Seems ivy material.[/quote]
My DC rejected from T15 (cs major) had the same GPA, IB magnet 1580 SAT (800 math).

UMD honors direct admit to CS with merit.

Had 58 credits going in. Will graduate in 3 years with two degrees, all for < $100k.  Not bad.[/quote]

That's great. BTW, as a CS major he can go for a one year Masters degree too. So, in 4 years he will have a double majors in undergrad and a Masters degree. You should check that out. [/quote]
pp here.. that is the plan. So 4 years,  < $130K = 2 bachelors and 1 masters in CS, zero debt, cash gift, and a car.

I was just focusing on the undergrad part.

Of course, it was a blow to their ego to not get admitted to a T15, but I think they're happy with their plan.  They did get on a WL for one of the T15, but decided not to pursue it because they wanted this plan.[/quote]
PP poster with the 35 ACT kid.  Wonder if our kids know each other because they sound the same.   "Best" he did was a Cornell WL.

Also to the OP.  Honors was nice to have for the dorms freshman year but in long term not that meaningful.   UMD will be what he makes of it. [/quote]
