[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just affirmatively angry about the way the UMCP treats McPS grads.  We pay at least as much or more taxes to support that school and they make the bar almost impossible for McPS grads.  I don’t know if there is some way to put political pressure on someone to change this.  I’ve seriously thought about moving to another county for senior year so my kid has a fair shot but can’t bear to make my kid move.

FWIW, my oldest is in a top private and feels extremely well prepared by McPS.  [/quote]

You all sound like cry babies. MCPS students are not treated horribly in UMD admissions, they in fact make up the plurality of the undergrad enrollment there. Let's talk about the real issue: W school and B-CC nepo baby trust fund kids with 3.9 to 4.2 wGPAs  getting accepted at T20 schools over middle-class kids with 4.5+ wGPAs from Anne Arundel, Howard, and Calvert Counties by biased admissions counselors who write the latter group off boring and uncultured suburban kids and favor rich kids inside the beltway.
