[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np here - not sure if it’s being disputed but the (magnet) IB program at RM really does have median SAT scores of 1500. It’s on the IB school profile...

The other IB schools are for the neighborhood students who want to challenge themselves.[/quote]
so how do you explain an IB diploma graduate with a 1440 SAT and 3.8ish weighted GPA not getting into UMD?

FWIW, I would be proud if my non IB student had a 1440.[/quote]

3.8 weighted gpa is kind of low. [b]UMD gives more weight to GPA than SAT[/b][/quote]

Not sure if that's true but 3.8 weighted gpa is not enough.  also remember college admission is more than just two data points - gpa/test score. all these kids with relatively high stats may have f'ed up some other aspects of app[/quote]

Noted below, the GPA for that kid was not 3.8w, it was 4.2w. Meantime, how would these kids have f'ed up some other aspects of the app? UMCP admissions is like Squid Game. [/quote]
