[quote=Anonymous]Some of you seem out of touch. First, there’s more to highly rated schools than the Ivy League. And for all of the disparaging of public universities, schools in our region like Virginia Tech, Penn State, UVA, and yes, UMCP, especially for STEM, are focus schools for top companies. I work at a “Big 4” and we actively recruit at all of these because the students are smart, hard working and high achieving, and tend to me more well rounded than the Ivy kids. Campus hires from these schools also do better long term at our firm. Secondly, yes, public HS in MCPS have good representation across a wide range of excellent schools - private and public. Maybe not if you’re in the Ivy-or-die club but there are many excellent universities that fall outside that group. [/quote]
