[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worth the investment going forward? I'm talking about Tufts, BC, Tulane, Wake, Brandies etc.
Their lower endowments make me concerned they'll lose brand power in the Trump era; while costing the same as T20/25 schools. If DC can't get into Georgetown or similar, should they [b]just go to UMD?[/b] [/quote]

"Just" go to UMD? If your DC is considering privates in T30-70 you mentioned (which BTW are great schools for the right kids) then unlikely that they have what it takes to get in UMD. If your DC is in-state and from the W schools, anything less than UW 4.0 is a red flag for UMD admission, and that is for EA round. Zero chance to be accepted in RD round. If in-state and from a non W school outside Montgomery County, then much better chance. If you are out of state and full pay, then your DC chances in getting the T30-70 schools mentioned is significantly greater than getting to UMD as OOS.

For reference look at the CDS UMDCP (92% admitted has UW GPA 4.0). Compare that to the CDS of the schools mentioned above. Again, those schools provide great educational value for the right students. [/quote]

The acceptance rate for UMD is twice that of any of the privates mentioned.  It is indeed an easier admit, even with the rampant grade inflation In Montgomery county public schools.[/quote]
