[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fwiw, which is nothing. I'm from one of the southern states where all of these kids want to enroll in the state supported institutions, and I'm glad these schools are being so selective. It's not the U of ....'s job to entertain your out of state kids because they want a "fun school" in a warm climate. That is not their mission. If the school wants your kid because your kid is awesome or they want your tuition $$, great, but stop complaining about selectivity. There are thousands of in state kids who also have great stats and a bright future, AND are residents of the state that supports the institution. [/quote]

+1. I could not agree more. [/quote]

This is true.  And I wish MD did the same for all those kids in-state who have the stats.  I love the idea of guaranteed admission for top 5%.  [/quote]

Top 5% get into UMD now.  My kids hs class has around 400 students and 70 got in.  [/quote]

Agree, plus Maryland’s in state acceptance is still high.  Where it gets difficult is for kids who are not in top 15 to 20 percent of class at competitive upper middle class high schools.  [/quote]
