79/200 = 39.5%  where?
You picked a number out of your @$$ to fit your narrative.

If you read the post, it's because about 200 kids go to UVA- it's overall ranking is way higher than UMD.

But here's the thing: your narrative has been rebutted against already and then you call us names. Show us how the numbers can't work, vs. saying we make it up.

You still can't beat the US News rankings or create a rate without actual hard numbers.

Nor have you at all argued against it. Saying that it's made up is not an argument-- it's a cop out.

Huh???? Now you're spewing out more stupidity.
Then what do the 79 Ivies have to do with your random 200?
You're digging yourself deeper and deeper into the hole.

Because of U.Va. Big percent of the class at TJ goes to U.Va. Md. doesn't have an equivalent.

Wrong, about 40% Blair magnet students go to UMD, which is actually a STEM powerhouse while UVA is not.
One has to wonder why go to all the troubles of going to TJ just to end up at UVA.

Really? U.Va ranked #28
U.Md ranked #64
That's a big difference.

Wow!!!
I guess reading comprehension is not your forte.
Key word :STEM
Do you know what is that?

For a STEM "powerhouse" you'd think it would be ranked higher.

STEM powerhouse = MIT. Not any of the aforementioned schools.

"STEM" powerhouse.

I'm just laughing at the lies you tell yourselves.

Agreed.

But it's also that MCPS wants to take over an AAP thread to make themselves feel better.

The MCBros aren't really good at proving their schools are better either. I mean, if Blair was so great, it wouldn't be #1064. And if TJ was so bad, it wouldn't be ranked at #4.

But it's ok: they have at 3.03% local tax in MoCo that somehow makes it all better.

But MD kids would be so much less likely to go to UVA because it is more expensive for them not because they could not get in...

Yeah, U.Va a great bargain in-state which may account for its appeal with TJ parents, while most smart Maryland kids probably want to go elsewhere than their state flagship.

The other thing about UVA: it's not the only school. UVA is #4 in US News Top Public schools, and William and Mary is #12.

UMD is a respectable #24-- but it's definitely not #4. And yes, overall rankings matters in terms of colleges and high schools. We are in the top 10 for top public colleges, alongside UCLA, Berkeley, U Michigan, and Georgia Tech. Our STEM may not be the greatest, but if we can compete with those schools, it's definitely not shabby.

But let's not digress too much. TJ is a much better school than Blair. And FCPS is much better than MCPS.

None of you have provided much analysis of data, or presentation of data to refute the arguments presented above. But it was fun to watch you guys try. It was kinda funny: the numbers are fake! It's all lies! The media is so mean to us.

It's so familiar.....

The answer to OP's question is obvious: Md. sends more kids to elite schools because they don't want to attend their state's flagship university.

STEM powerhouse is a reach, when MD ranks number 25 in engineering while Virginia Tech (the less of the UVA schools) ranks at 13.

Nice attempt at Terp Pride though. It's a shame that your basketball team and your football team went down the tubes. Kinda like Blair's magnet program.

Well, I mean if you REALLY want the info:

https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/university-of-maryland-2103/overall-rankings
https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/virginia-tech-3754/overall-rankings
https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/university-of-virginia-main-campus-234076/overall-rankings

MD is #25 in engineering for undergrad (STEM) Virginia Tech is #25.

Virginia Tech is considered the lower of the two schools by TJ grades, but you know. Since you want STEM equivalents.
