[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those saying I made up the 34%, it's right there in UMD's internal stats, already provided by another poster on a College Forum thread about UMD:

https://www.irpa.umd.edu/CampusCounts/Admissions/apps_ug.pdf

The admit rate changed because there were more applicants. 
Notice the trend was there for Fall 2021 as well. Admit rate went from 51% to 40% to 34%.

I suspect it has to do with Covid and test-optional admissions. No one knows whether this trend will continue, but it's not just UMD, people. It would make sense that most colleges that have gone test-optional have received more applications, and their admit rate has therefore decreased.

My senior is already in to UMD Honors - he submitted all test scores, including AP exams. I suspect that the only way to see your way through these admit rates is to NOT go test-optional.

WOW! That is staggering to see. Well, damn. UMD just got even more competitive than it already was![/quote]
I also wonder if it's because the more selective colleges are also now much more competitive and the costs are just insane.  UMD has great ROI for majors like CS. No brainer.  I know it is for us - CS Honors.[/quote]
