[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow Churchill was impressive![/quote]

A bit misleading at Churchill. UMD screwed Churchill hard this year. My kid with a 4.7 GPA and 13 APs could not get in even on wait list or delayed program. It skewed it a bit. A lot of those kids who wanted UMD to go instate had to go out of state. And with those GPAs they got into good schools. My kid I said if I am paying full freight pick the best school possible OOS.

And it went other way. My kid has two friends with almost a 4.8 WGPA who at at MoCo community college as parents did not want to pay OOS tuition and did not get into UMD. They plan to transfer over. My kids friends got into a bunch of great schools and still at MoCo. I am like she got into Pitt, Penn, American, NYU, and going to MoCo? Yep parents wont pay. So that also makes list look weird.

Include Blair for UMD. Went from almost 50% acceptance rate to 30%. My child with similar stats (submitted ACT scores) was also denied. [/quote]

Meanwhile, in another thread where UMD is on a list of schools, people are assuming those schools are easy acceptances...[/quote]

RM’s acceptance rate to UMD was 24%, guess I should send my younger kids to Einstein.

I really wish UMD would release the stats by school. It would be interesting to see what stats you need from each school in MCPS compared to schools in other counties vs other states. Then break down that data by those that applied to limited enrollment programs. [/quote]
