[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m hearing from my DC that many of the high stats kids they know who were rejected gave one or two word answers for the MD “complete the sentences” when were allowed 250 characters for each. That would explain it in my mind. If you can’t be bothered to put in effort on the application, why should they take you. [/quote]
they might have been thinking that "oh, it's just UMD, easy peasy.. my high stats will get me in".

But I thought they used common app. So, if they applied to other colleges with the same type of answers, how did they fare at those other colleges?[/quote]

I’m guessing you don’t have a senior — most colleges have their own supplemental essays or short answer questions in addition to the common app essay. [/quote]
I do actually. DC just got into CS honors.

The PP didn't indicate which "short answer" they were referring to.[/quote]
sorry.. I see that the PP did say "MD short answers".  Yea, my DC tried to use up as much of the word count as possible, and DC is very high stats.

I do think some of those that PP referred to thought UMD was a true safety and that they didn't have to try.[/quote]
