Well of course Georgetown has the best reputation, but the other schools like American and then the more obscure ones are a level below UMD. Of course they have a chance. Even if it was a way worse school than all the DC schools (which it’s not) by shear numbers UMD would overpower everything.
You can take advantage of DC as much or as little as you’d like.
American is a city school. Georgetown is a campus within a big city, but a little more separated (due to lack of Metro line) and UMD is a school in a small city next to a huge city, but the campus is miles ahead of everything but Georgetown (and really who can compete with the aesthetics there?). Plus Maryland students actually have easier acess to much of DC than Georgetown because of the Metro.
