UMD is increasingly desirable throughout the northeast/Amtrak corridor. Kids in NJ, MA, NY who don’t want to stay instate (worried that college will be a repeat of HS, which I personally think is crazy, but what the heck) have UMD as a top choice. Many of these kids are high scorers.

I know kids in MD who did not get into UMD (who would have been a shoe-in even 5 years ago) and local kids who are being offered January admittance, not August.

It is very competitive right now- and to expect money from them- well, that’s never a guarantee.
