[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, my son also is choosing between UMD Honors (in state for us), NYU and GWU interestingly! He only applied to one Ivy and two other Top 20 so was not surprised that he didn't get in, but was a tad bit disappointed. But we are all thankful that he has great options to choose from. You should be proud of your daughter! [/quote]

Op here, we r OOS for UMD. What major?[/quote]

Electrical Engineering for UMD (engineering for the other schools too). [/quote]
EE for UMD is pretty high up

Even if that ranking isn't very good, other rankings do have UMD for EE pretty high, if not T20.

My very high stat kid was shut out of T10 for CS.  They got direct admit to UMD CS with merit, which is also T20 for CS.

It was a huge ego hit, to be sure as their stats were very very high from a magnet program.  But, DC is pretty happy there, and in hindsight, probably a better fit.  They are smart, but not really driven like a lot of the T10 kids are. Still DC has a great internship lined up for the summer.
