[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
 :roll: Repeated every year on DCUM like clockwork.

MCPS magnet kids will do ok where-ever they go.  But, MCPS and UMD has been a match made in heaven and the MCPS students have contributed a lot to UMD prestige and ranking for years.  Even with the decline in MCPS, there are enough high performers with a culture of academic excellence in their families, to keep a steady supply of future students for UMD.   [/quote]

Thank you for your TED talk. Clap clap.
