There will be minor shuffling. Richmond into the top 20, Bucknell top 30.

Are you the Greek God poster?

all tests required. No superscore. Discourages superscore-reliant applications.
All tests required, so no TO applications.
Has own application and not on common app (that is changing). Discourages applications.

If TO and common app, would have 2x the apps.

Now there is no ED. Two rounds of ED and 70% of class filled ED cuts admit rate in half.

So if Georgetown were like Chicago, it would have 2x the apps (cutting admit rate in half) and it would be cut in half again with ED rounds.

In other words, its normalized admit rate is close to 1/4 of 12%.

You’re welcome!

georgetown is also full of preunemployment majors. I dont see a doubling of apps. People want stem to make money in this economy not to go DC with all the cuts happening

OK, immigrant parent. Western societies value more than career training. And Comp Sci majors are now struggling to find jobs. Get an adaptable education.

happy employed here. english and humanities majors not so much

Likewise, USNWR will recognize that U Chicago is broke and surrounded by violent neighborhoods which would put mid-aughts Baghdad to shame. Also kicked out of the top 20.

USNWR will recognize that Big 10 schools are cold, woke and terrible, and that everyone wants to go to SEC schools now. Georgia, Florida, and Auburn will all crack the top 30. Bama to top 50.

now do penn and most of the other schools in woke cities too

Why would an English major be unemployed? There’s a lot of people oriented and writing-based careers out there.

The reality is that there isn’t so much diversity of the types of engineers and scientists we need. DS is a math major and practically has to go to grad school, because no one has an actual need for a physics student- sure, he can go into AI/ML/ Data but those aren’t what his degree is about and really he’d be picking up an extra major worth of classes to catch up. A lot of STEM is resource capped by the fact that you need a PhD to begin contributing to any research, that research costs a ton and needs to run with the least amount of bodies, and generally, companies don’t have to look hard for talent.

A lot of writing careers out there? lol. Yes, if you mean writing people's names on a coffee cup.

I'm at google and we hire plenty of bachelor degree candidates for new grad positions for DS and SWE.

I just hope UMD doesn't crack the top 30. It will make admissions there even harder for my senior MCPS kid and all peers.

Rutgers goes from 41 to 35.

Yes. Your workplace is currently hiring for public policy roles lol. Many students in stem don’t do DS and SWE.

Right. It’s hard to value something that’s way out of your league.

You think there’s no jobs in writing because you work at google? Google hires hundreds of people to write all day. What a naive opinion.

DP. Exactly. I am sort of a data architect (different job title) at a large company and I make a great salary.

You would never know I majored in fine art and never got a graduate degree or certificate of any sort.

You would be amazed how much you can achieve on the job just by being curious and competent. It did take a few years. But I’m glad I went to a LAC.

Outside of your management, public policy, marketing, recruiting, and arts divisions? Sure.

I’m actually not convinced you work at google if you solely are thinking about SWE.
