Such a strange process. Ohio was a safety and getting rejected from state school was a little shocking. But the acceptances were exciting. It really does seem like a crapshoot.

Congrats. Accepted at Northeastern but denied at UMD - crazy.

UMD is a better school.

My D's classmate was deferred at UMich last year so he had to settle for Brown. It's just yield protection. UMD knew the student will go elsewhere. Schools that are considered safes don't appreciate the label - so they will reject out of spite. Most likely, it was done to protect their yield.

UMD does not engage in yield protection.

.

+1. The big statae schools like UMD and UVA don't have the time or resources to practice yield protection.

I'd say they are about equal, along with Case Western.

Schools that don't want to see their schools sliding in the US News engage in yield protection.

Is this a joke?

Many kids are going to state schools due to cost. That doesn't mean they are the better school. It just means more are applying. Every school on there but Arizona and Ohio is better than Maryland in my opinion.

The Common Data sets tell us otherwise.

UMD-CP and Northeastern are very similar vis-a-vis the Common Data Sets.

Many kids are going to state schools because they are good schools with a high-performing student body.

US News is no longer tracking number applied vs % admitted, which should cut down on yield protection to the extent that was happening.

You are a troll. No way your kid got rejected by UMICH and had to “settle” for Brown. Those schools are not in the same universe.

I think many kids are going to state schools because UMD costs $20K and Northeastern costs 65K

Might not have an impact this cycle...once a marketing strategy is already in motion, it's hard to turn it around on a dime. But over the next few years, I think the change will have an impact, and it will be interesting to see how the rankings shake out.

I can see that happening--a kid applying to Brown as a reach and Michigan as a likely, and being surprised to get into the first and not the second. PP clearly had tongue in cheek on the word "settle."

Yes. And because UMD is an equal experience in terms of the student body and education, and has a similarly great reputation.

But UMD costs about $27K, not $20K.
