I have a student in class of 2025. UMD told our school that the middle 50 percentile of SAT scores for accepted students was 1400-1520 and that their acceptance rate last year was 31 percent. They didn’t say how many applied TO though. They said this is a safety school for no one.

Our kid really wants UMD. Will end up with one B on transcript. As of end of sophomore year had taken 4 AP classes (only 3 exams) and earned 3 s on them. This year is taking 5 APs and senior year 5 more tentatively so plus MV.

SAT score is almost at the “bottom” of their range high 1300’s. Not URM.

Class of 2024 is it really that competitive? Is this a big reach for my kid?

No major ECs or sports.

overall admit is 44%. they are trying to overestimate their selectivity and desirability. yield is terrible

So dumb. Who the heck cares. It's a good school.

what’s dumb is when admissions overhypes selectivity and says it is not a safety for anyone.

really? is that what a 21% yield indicates? lol

UMD's in state yield is a very strong 50% according to their CDS. Their OOS yield is low, but comparible to all but the most desirable (UNC, UVA, etc.) major state universities.

+1

PP is ignorant. For state schools, look at in-state yield.

50% acceptance rate. Still a safety. Trash.
