Yes she is considering Loyola New Orleans. Worried it is too small (feels the same way about Providence) but I think it’s a great location!
I’m curious about UMD, especially because we have family not too far from there. I read another post saying it’s super hard to get into. When I looked up their common data set it seems they accept about 40 percent of applicants, but it also says their average “unweighted” GPA for their admitted students is 4.4 and that more than 90 percent of applicants have an unweighted GPA of 4.0 or higher. I don’t understand that at all since, to me, “unweighted” means the highest you can get is 4.0 (or I guess some people would say 4.3). I don’t understand how you even get 4.4 unweighted…but she’s WAY below that so I’m afraid it would be another unlikely!
