Maryland is a good school but it is really lame to try to make the school look good by focusing on some horrific events at the superior schools of a neighboring state.
Also, don't forget that Virginia also has W & M, Mason, Madison, ODU, VCU, Christopher Newport, Radford--all state schools. Maryland has College Park and Baltimore County and then.... Frostburg, Eastern Shore, Bowie State--ouch. Can't count Hopkins because it is private and the kids who go there are quick to let you know.
I see what you did there...trying to tie VT to far more prestigious UVa... More like UMBC or GMU... But not UVa, get real 800 SAT

You can do this at any college on earth except maybe Harvard.
Well duh, but not every college has students who are admitted to start Spring semester.
