[quote=Anonymous]First, Towson is a perfectly good school for pre-med. Very solid pre-health programs across the board. But I agree with those who blame OP for her kid's disappointment. Sorry, OP, but merit usually goes to kids with high GPA and high test scores, especially due to grade inflation with MCPS. Given the high GPA, it must have been the test score that blocked UMD acceptance. You shouldn't have gotten DC's hopes up. That's the part that's really rough here. It is so, so important to take the time to run NPCs and do a little research on typical merit awards and correlation to stats. This can all be done in one afternoon, with a lot of info about merit trends available on DCUM. [/quote]
