[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our W school in MoCo at least 50% of the kids apply to UMD, and probably 75-80% are accepted. So it's not the school discouraging MoCo kids by any stretch. It does seem like more kids are starting to actually go to UMD from our school, with price being a major factor. For many it's not their first choice but I know a number of kids were accepted elsewhere but their families couldn't justify to cost relative to UMD. [/quote]

+1 totally agree

Everyone from our private applies to UMD. Many parents choose it because of the cost. DD needs to get merit aid at a private school or she's going to UMD.

UMDCP is much harder to get into than in previous years because of the cost relative to other schools. Plus, UMDCP is accepting fewer in-state students because they need OOS tuition.

I pray DD gets in. It's not far from where we live, but it's a world apart. We're not going to swoop down on DD every weekend. [b]It will be like going to school in CA, only without the palm trees!

Haha! I hope we can convince DS this is true. UMD one of the best in the country for his intended field of major. But, probably 3/4 of Blair applies there and UMD is 15 minutes from our house.

My cousin attended a school where my grandfather had been a prof, and my grandparents still lived nearby. Sometimes on a Sunday morning they'd drop by his frat to say hello. He had stories about frantically ripping down posters in the hallways. [/quote]
