It does prioritize in-state and ALL colleges in the USA are run like businesses, which is why there is so much pressure to get into the state option and take the financial burden off parents

What is the percentage of maximum out of state applicants accepted to UMD? Virginia and North Carolina schools cap at around a maximum 25%. The state legislature sets the cap which can be changed if the legislature decides.

There is no cap at UMD for out of state students. That creates a financial incentive to choose out of state applicants over in state applicants. Does UMD publish the percentage of out of state students in their freshman classes?

UNC can only take 18% OOS

I've heard they can take up to 30% undergraduates out of state by law but I can't find a citation anywhere.

Not the hiring poster, but they can do what they want with their own business.

Sure she can. And she can bore her friends about it all she wants.

Most of his friends from midrange non W MCPS public also got in (although not sure if FC or not, didn’t ask, didn’t tell). It must be somewhat of an advantage to come from a lower performing school? Maybe these kids went test optional but pretty sure they didn’t break 1300 and are in calculus now, senior year and only had a few APs. Mixed messages. I guess just count my blessings….

Usually 50% of those who apply get in from my kid’s W school. What percentage of kids get in from your non W school?

No idea what % but it seems like all but one of my kid and friends, so about 10, got in. Very unscientific but I was just surprised. One has low 1100 SATs, although maybe did not submit. She was Spring admit to Delaware but got into College Park?

That can't be true.

But there are other MCPS IB programs, BCC, for one. I don’t suppose you have their median SAT? RMIB isn’t the only game in town.

+1 and it’s also the magnet IB for the entire county. I would expect the score to be high! UMD would compare RMIB students not the entire MCPS IB pool.

Why wouldn't it compare RMIB with other IB students? They all take the same coursework and IB exams to get the diploma.

I'm not the person whose kid you are denigrating, but you are a pompous ass.

stating facts is now equal to being a pompous a$$? I got those numbers from the school website. Sorry it hurt your feelings. Or maybe we should all be telling alternate facts and numbers.

You got the 1500 as a median SAT for MoCo IB students from what school's website? From RM's? Obviously all MCPS students do not have a median score of 1500 on their SATs, so why does this applicant with 1440 get compared only to the 1500 median for some of the IB students? Do you work in UMCP admissions? And you're not hurting my feelings at all.

Maybe you need to re-read the entire thread... start from the very top... "IB diploma"... this student is an IB student, that's why I mentioned IB student scores.

I'm just a parent, and yes, my kid is in the IB program, and I am aware of some of their SAT scores through my kid.

Lemme get this straight: you quoted a 1500 SAT as median for the IB program, and it turns out you know "some SAT scores through your kid." That is not data. You seem to be intent on being unhelpful and you are making claims based on hearsay. Please get a hobby.
