[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rejected. In total shock. High stats (4.6 W, 11 APs, 34 ACT), great ECs, MCPS. We're hoping it's a yield thing, and this doesn't bode badly for DCs RD applications  :( [/quote]

I empathize. My kid had basically that same stats, except your ACT was better, and was denied. Ticks me off being an alum and now I'm going to have to shell out more money.

Think that I'll mention that fact the next time the University asks me for donations. [/quote]
You are part of why legacy admissions won't die.  If you only donated to give your kid legacy advantage, you are basically trying to buy your kid's way into college.

Didn't you know that UMD doesn't give a fig about legacy status?  Didn't bother checking that out first before you tried to buy your kid's way in?[/quote]

NP. Quit trolling PP. She never said anything to suggest she expected entry because of donations. She just shared that in her frustration,  she is unlikely to donate and wants to tell the univ off. Perfectly normal reaction.

Stop trying to flame. Find something more constructive to do or say.

To the PP, it's a bummer. So sorry.  Hope your kid will find a good in state alternative (St. M, UMBC?) or get some great merit elsewhere. [/quote]
I'm not trolling PP. Just responding to a statement I found a bit insulting.  IMO legacy  is worse than affirmative action.[/quote]

Well, you seem to have read extra into the statement and then unleashed on PP. So, just knock it off and move on.[/quote]

“Knock it off and move on?” Sorry, who are you again? Is your name Jeff? Take a seat. DP[/quote]
