[quote=Anonymous][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 [quote]is now at least 50 % URM[/quote].  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]

?? UMD is 24% URM.[/quote]
