[quote=Anonymous]Folks following this thread might find some of the data from UMD interesting.

https://irpa.umd.edu/CampusCounts/ - has a variety of yearly reports regarding enrollment and graduation.

https://irpa.umd.edu/CampusCounts/Retention/ug_retcomp.pdf

I first found these when my oldest enrolled at UMD in 2018. I was surprised to see that ~25% of degrees awarded are to students who transferred in. I think that is a good thing - it allows more focus at UMD on the upper level courses and has students sort themselves out in 1st year courses and Gen Eds at the community colleges.

Another set of interesting data is at:
https://reports.umd.edu/ 
https://reports.umd.edu/tableaupublic/1824 - shows enrollment by county.

There is so much hand-wringing and perceptions that MCPS is somehow being treated unfairly in admissions. But the fact is that MoCo ~17% of Maryland's population, but has 37.5% of the UMD undergraduate enrollment.

I did a rough average of county enrollment per public high school (an over estimate) and Montgomery County has an average of ~88 students per public high school. Next highest is Howard, with ~61 per public high school. The state average is 17 per public high school. High schools in MoCo enroll 5 times more students than the MD average. (Yes, our schools are very large, but even accounting for total student population, MoCo is over represented proportionally at UMD.)
