Just looked up the most recent report (for fall 2025 admission) of UMD-College Park's Common Data Set.

If I read it right, these are the in-state admissions statistics:

Applied: 18487
Admitted: 8075
Enrolled: 4133

So, that's about a 44% acceptance rate for in-state applicants, and about a 51% yield rate.

For out-of-state applicants, it was:

Applied: 48614
Admitted:22143
Enrolled:2426

That's a 46% acceptance rate and a yield rate of 11%.

No surprise that in-state applicants are much more likely to enroll once admitted.

The Common Data Set report also had this info about UMD's wait list:

Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list:247

Number accepting a place on the waiting list:0

Number of wait-listed students admitted:0

If I am reading that right, that's a tiny wait list for a college the size of UMD.

Sorry, OP. Best to move on to the places where your DC was accepted.
