[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typically, your state flagship is your safety. However, it is probably not true in Virginia, and definitely not true in California. Michigan in-state yes a safety for their strong kids. Every other state, Ny, NJ, probably all true that you can use in-state flagship as a safety. Private high schools are different, many do not apply to any state schools. DC used schools like Richmond, Rochester, Case as their safeties. Full pay, all accepted.[/quote] UMD is no longer a safety for most kids in MCPS though odds are better if you are in a lower performing MCPS school. From other parts of MD, it might be a safety with decent grades. DS with a 3.85/4.5 didn’t even apply as those stats get a definite rejection at his HS. We know many 4.0/4.7 kids who didn’t get in. Every year there are a few kids who are caught off guard. [/quote]
