[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD admits a lot of lower stats kids second semester. 
That way the lower stats aren't computed in their averages. The kids attend the first semester, but take evening classes. (I can't remember what this program is called.)

DD had very high stats and got accepted to CS at UMD, but not honors, which disappointed her. She attends OOS where she got a full ride.

Lots of her classmates are at UMD, with mixed feelings about it. The worst complaint I hear from parents is about housing, which is very limited at UMD, and the huge classes are a problem in the first couple years.

Or maybe they are admitting for Spring to give more kids a chance.  IMO public schools are playing less games than private colleges.

State schools play fewer games than private about full pay students, but certainly aren’t straight forward. I have been told that my 3.91/4.51, 7 AP child has zero chance of getting into UMD because she is coming from Churchill and they only accept the high of the high students with perfect scores, [b]yet her same stats coming from almost any other high school would at least give her a real good chance.[/b] It’s really frustrating as we are one of the struggling families who can’t afford to go out of state or pay for tutors or college counseling so she is being compared to kids with many greater advantages just because of where we are zoned.

Who told you that? A UMD AO? DCUM?

The AOs say UMD is not “the University of Montgomery County.”

They accept students from ALL counties. It’s easier to get accepted from counties with fewer admits.
