Great! Congrats!!

Auburn's acceptance rate is 81%. How could someone not get in?

It must be exhausting to be such a gigantic ass****

+1000....if Auburn is where the DC wants to attend, how absolutely great is that! Who the ++++ cares about admit rates! Have fun at the football games!!!!

+2000...I am sure that a student can get a fabulous education at Auburn. And hopefully enjoy themselves for 4 years too. Struggling to find a negative in this.

Absolutely fabulous. 4 year graduation rate of 47% Hope the kid likes it = he/she may be there awhile.

Which is higher than UMBC, which I believe is also a good school. And I think Auburn would be more fun with more Big State opportunities if your student is motivated. Some kids work through college and cannot always graduate (or pay for school) to get done in 4 years. You need some perspective.

I think UMBC's 4 yr. graduation rate is around 63%
And remember this: At Auburn the vast majority of the students are from Alabama - and thus products of that state's education system.
At least with UMBC I assume most students are from Md., NJ., Va - big difference.

Um, no. UMBC four year graduation rate is 38%. Sad!

can you supply the link on that? Not saying you're wrong but just to verify ...

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but it says 63%. https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/university-of-maryland-baltimore-county/academic-life/graduation-and-retention/

For full time students "University of Maryland - Baltimore County performs above average at graduating its first-time/full-time students on all fronts, posting an on-time (two or four years depending on the degree) and overall graduation rate of 37.7% and 63.3% respectively.

Yes, 38% of students graduate in 4 years while 63% graduate in 6 years.

The numbers at Auburn are 47% in four years and 73% in six years.

Yeah, you’re reading it wrong. Clearly the superior northern education failed to instill even basic reading comprehension! Bummer.

It might be “nuts” but it’s well, well below the national average of 70% so IDK what your point is.

Why are you so shocked? Only 50 of the 580 public 4-year-colleges in the US have 4 year graduation rates above 50%. National average is 19%...

QuestBridge Match guarantees a full scholarship with no loans, and it also covers books and supplies and gives a stipend for health insurance/travel. It is part of their agreement with the organization. The FA packages students get tend to be much more generous with Match than with Regular Decision. Many of the colleges do package loans, or they have hefty student contributions, or they only cover up to room/board/tuition, leaving students to figure out the other substantial costs.

The application is a consolidated one like the Common App. It's an alternative application process. A low-income student who applied normally would go through the same track. Pick the Common App schools to apply to. Fill out the Common App and the supplements for each school. Submit financial aid information. QB works exactly the same.

Not to mention that the college admissions process is a mess to navigate and could be extremely challenging for a low income and first gen student coming from an under-served school. QB specifically tailors to help these students out.

You just sound unbelievably bitter. Get over it. The most respected colleges in the country know and respect QuestBridge.

It's jealousy. The Questbridge college partners are indeed the best schools in the country https://www.questbridge.org/college-partners

YAY!!!!!! My niece (I posted up thread) got accepted to University of Chicago through the QB. Full ride!!!!! Her next in order choices were Brown, Princeton, Vanderbilt and John Hopkins.

Good job with your advertisement. Key words and everything!

That's actually my one reason to push my kid into a more prestigious institution. I don't think the education is necessarily much better, but the "better" schools have much higher graduation rates. I went to graduate school at UVA and taught some labs. There were kids there getting Cs that would absolutely have gotten Ds and Fs at the "crappy" state school I went to as an undergraduate. It's undoubtedly even worse at many more prestigious schools.

You are confusing correlation and causality. The lower ranked schools draw from a different pool. Their student body will include more students who are also parents, more students who also work more hours outside of school, more students who will miss class to help a relative who needs a ride somewhere, etx. More military gets struggling with ptsd. The more highly ranked schools are not necessarily doing something that helps their students graduate on time at higher rates
For the most part they are simply working with different students
