[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like our son's scores per Naviance will not be high enough for UMCP. For others in the same boat, have you found other in-state schools that are an "almost as good" substitute?   Interested in first-hand stories about UMBC, St. Mary's, and other schools that kids have attended after being rejected by UMCP. Thanks. [/quote]
I don't think it has been mentioned, but consider your community college as a good option for 2 years, and then transfer to UMD-CP or another in-state 4 year school (or depending on your program - Universities at Shady Grove, etc.)

Everyone gets fixated on getting in to UMD-CP as a freshman, but half the graduating class transferred in at some point.

Fall 2018 full-time students:
4646 Freshman
6706 Sophomores
8129 Juniors
9036 Seniors
1327 Freshman connection (spring admit)[/quote]

This is due to people taking more than 4 years to graduate in addition to transfers.[/quote]
