[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT is 47
W&M has fallen to 53[/quote]

UMD gives alot of aid to First Gen, Low income, and URM.  This is why they have risen so much in the rankings.  [/quote]

This isn’t about UMD?[/quote]
dp.. I think the UMD poster is giving an example of why a college could have gone up in the ranks.

Someone posted in another thread that the pell grant factor was only an extra .5% in the ranking.  I don't know if that's true.[/quote]

Yes this is exactly why.  Many of the public schools that have surged ie UMD give lots of scholarship $ to lower income students so that they can attend.  Take a look at the instagram postings for a school like Wheaton in MoCo.  Many students being given full or partial aid by the university.  Not saying there is anything wrong with it but UMD is now at least 50 % URM.  As well, as many other students who are minorities (Asian) from schools like Rockville and z Blair getting help to attend UMD.  This must have factored into moving the dial for UMD way up. [/quote]
