[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD with a 64% acceptance rate.  Yikes.  Let's keep it out of the "selective" discussion, ok?  It's a solid Big State U.  But not even close to elite.  [/quote]

Whoever said it was elite?[/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]

UMD is clearly not elite.  It's not even selective, as these acceptance rates confirm.  But there seems to be a large contingent of UMD boosters on DCUM who keep talking about how hard it is to get into now, how it's not a safety anymore, etc.  They should stop with the nonsense and shenanigans.  [/quote]

It depends on how you define "elite". If your definition is based on excluding the most people, then probably not. If it is based on what happens there, then UMD has a lot to be proud of.

Exactly.  This goes for most state schools.  They're very diverse in terms of the range of students' abilities.  Top students at state achools are really fantastic and get great opportunities.[/quote]
