If you are from in-state, you need a 4.0 and near perfect score on your SAT to get into Maryland. I know a lot of kids who got into highly competitive universities and were denied from Maryland. This isn't the 1980's
It's easier for a Virginia resident to get into UVA than a Maryland resident to get into Maryland these days.
Whether it's the 80s, 90s, or currently, a degree from UVA is considered far superior to Maryland. It's not even close.
