[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only about 60% of incoming students graduate. Of the 40% who leave, 12% transferred. Does anyone know why this rate is so high? I want to like my in-state options, but this is disappointing! [/quote] UMBC is a school that has a very large contingent of lower income, first-gen, commuters, and/or underrepresented minorities. They often have to work many hours, commute to school from a far distance, and face barriers to success that higher income students do not. [/quote] True but [b]the school needs to figure it out[/b]. It serves no one when a kid doesn’t graduate and walks away in debt and having lost years of earnings potential. [/quote] Why does the school need to figure it out?[/quote] Because you’re stupid?[/quote]
