My DD was rejected but it was a reach (3.8 unweighted and 1470 SAT from a W MCPS high school. Disappointed but expected. It is very popular. According to DD’s bf, lots of applicants from area privates too, probably b/c it is very expensive. We would have needed a lot of aid. The school has great programs, particularly bio med and business. Doesn’t hurt that the city is international, the campus is pretty and the weather is good. Yes, we’re very disappointed.
