[quote=Anonymous][quote=ritap19][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to this MoCo has currently over 10k students at UMD, so I think this narrative of "our kids don't get in" is overblown. Clearly they do get in and go there. Perhaps they are trying to increase other counties to be more in line with the state?  MoCo is about 17% of the state but seems to have about a third of the in state students.

Naviance is self reported, so give the kids a minute to report it. [/quote]

Interesting chart. The 10k refers to both undergrad and grad students. If you click on "undergrad" it is 8811 from Montgomery--still a great many and the top county by far, but not as high as 10k.

As an AO at UMD stated, "it's the University of Maryland, not the University of Montgomery County".[/quote]

As the parent of a AACo student, I found the chart interesting. MoCo has about twice the number of students as AACo, yet almost 5 times the number of enrolled undergraduates and about 40% of all enrolled from the state. I understand a good portion are likely transfer kids, but it would be interesting to see the breakdown of admitted freshmen from each county. [/quote]
I think MoCo just has a lot more high achieving kids. No slam on AACo, but MoCo itself has a lot more educated parents.  [/quote]
