[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just affirmatively angry about the way the UMCP treats McPS grads.  We pay at least as much or more taxes to support that school and they make the bar almost impossible for McPS grads.  I don’t know if there is some way to put political pressure on someone to change this.  I’ve seriously thought about moving to another county for senior year so my kid has a fair shot but can’t bear to make my kid move.

FWIW, my oldest is in a top private and feels extremely well prepared by McPS.  [/quote]

A reminder - of the 31k undergrads at UMD more 10k are Moco kids. The next two counties are Howard and PG with 3k each. There is no different treating of mcps kids.  Not everyone from every W school can get in - just like kids get denied from River Hill in Howard and Eleanor Roosevelt in PG. [/quote]

That doesn’t say much. I’d love to know the stats broken down by county of accepted students, then compare that to the population of the county, and of those that applied.[/quote]

It doesn’t say much? Just that ONE THIRD of the student population at the flagship institution in the state come from one county in the state? [/quote]
