No Direct Admission to James A. Clark School of Engineering Thread

<p>The issue is that if the criteria for an OOS student to get directly into Clark is so severe that this student can get into the MITs, CMUs, UCBs of the world, there is very little reason (maybe monetary) for that person to consider UMD. This was my case too when we were applying for my D1’s Med school. We did not apply to UNC or UT coz their OOS acceptance rates were so abysmally low… but we knew that going in. She is happy at Pitt BTW.</p>
