<p>“Nobody said they would not get into UMDCP or engineering, however, there is a difference between getting into Engineering and getting into Clark.”</p>
<p>? </p>
<p>What does that mean?</p>
<p>“That is laughable…DS is OOS 33 ACT, 1390 out of 1600 SAT, 3.73 uw gpa and 4.3 w gpa, same APs and no easy courses like Music or Psych (took Latin and CC classes through jump start)…all better stats regarding ECs than the OP…”</p>
<p>Nope, not laughable - true as far as my observations are concerned. Your son may have gotten pittance, but if he got anything, that’s more than many in-state students with similar stats got. My bro had about those stats (actually, a higher GPA than that) and got 0 money whatsoever. I’m convinced if he was out of state with those stats he would have gotten some money to lower the cost (though overall as an OOSer he still would have paid more than an in stater on no scholarship, perhaps - but that is why they try to attract them, isn’t it?).</p>
<p>“BK I would not bank on being a finalist.”</p>
<p>Lol of course not…</p>
<p>But again her rank is very interesting. If she is a minority/from a poor or underrepresented area, scholarship opportunities might be possible. Small ones, as I said, not the friggin’ B/K haha. You basically have to be a perfect star for that ;).</p>
