[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD CS is a tough admit. Acceptance rate likely in the 10%-20% range.[/quote]
Not sure if accurate but I saw this quote from a CS info session (below for 2023 cycle)

9,000 applicants indicated CS as their major, 3,000 of those were admitted to UMD, 600 of those were direct admints to CS, 450 enrolled[/quote]
OP here and I attended the presentation where those stats were given. All the figures seem ok, with the exception of a 75% yield rate. In the FB UMD Class of 2028 parents group, a few weeks ago one of the UMD staffers who answers questions indicated CS had the highest yield of any UMD major. That being said, it seems unlikely to be anywhere close to 75%. She may have misstated the number of direct admits. But any way you slice it, getting into the UMD CS major is a tough nut to crack. It likely has an acceptance rate below 20% and possibly is below 15%. I think it would be quite helpful for candidates if the acceptance figures, including GPA/SAT/%TO for accepted applicants in each major were published.[/quote]
