[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality of college admissions is brutal. But recognizing that reality is a kindness. OP, it sounds like you’re just starting out researching options and I encourage you to use Naviance and CDS reports as your guide. If you have a good school counselor, use them. But if not, Naviance will be your best tool. Or SCOIR if that’s your school’s platform.

That said, my UMD alum husband couldn’t believe that his 4.7, 10 AP, 1450 SAT daughter might get rejected from his alma mater. Naviance showed that possibility and he refused to believe it. The numbers don’t lie. Rejected.[/quote]

I assume you are in MCPS?  It makes me actively angry how much UMD discriminates against MCPS kids.  Your kid was an excellent student and probably much more qualified than many admitted.  But they don’t want it to be overrun with McPS kids so even though it’s mostly our tax dollars supporting the university, we get shafted.  A lot of states have guaranteed admission for kids with the top qualifications.  Maryland instead drives them out of state.[/quote]

Yes, MCPS “W” school.[/quote]
