[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nice.  But the real Big Ten schools are mostly a thousand miles away.  Maryland has more in common with UVA, UNC, NC State, VA Tech, Mason, VCU and Pitt. [/quote]

Mason? VCU? Please....[/quote]

Maryland has much more in common with Mason than Wisconsin.  That is obvious to even the most casual observer.  They actually compete for many of the same students.  Our neighbor, a math major, narrowed it down to these two, then chose Maryland.  No way was this kid going to school somewhere in flyover country.[/quote]

Oh for the love of...

There is absolutely no similarity between UMD or Wisconsin with George Mason. George Mason did not even exist 60 years ago, looks like a commuter college, has an average incoming class SAT 1 standard deviations below UW and at least 1.5 standard deviations below UMD.

GMU peer schools include ODU and VCU and would never have a chance at either the ACC or B10.

UMD's are UNC, Penn State, etc [/quote]

You are seriously overestimating Maryland and the Big 10, or 12, or 14 or whatever they are this week.. Indiana has a 74% acceptance rate!  Ohio state's is 64%. Iowa's is 78%!   At 55% Mason is a lot more selective than those supersized education factories.  That's why Maryland loses students to Mason, not Iowa.  Maryland is a decent school, but no Penn State, UVA, or UNC.  That is just delusion.[/quote]
