Really? That's a really high TO number.
Just 44% submitting is high? Compared to what schools? Per 24-25 CDS (apologies in advance for any typos):
UVA 46% SAT, 14% ACT (sum 50)
U Wisconsin 14% SAT, 35% ACT (sum 49)
W&M 43% SAT, 16% ACT (sum 49)
VT 41% SAT, 9% ACT (sum 50)
NC State 18% SAT, 29% ACT (sum 47)
Rutgers 50% SAT, 5% ACT (sum 55)
UVA: 46+14=60
W&M: 43 + 16 = 59% (and in the 2025-26 CDS, the W&M numbers are 48 SAT + 14 ACT = 62%)

No, they are test optional so the average submitted score is going to be high
DP. I think PP was referring to a possible preference by UMD to not receive the lower scores in order to puff up their appearance. I don't know if there is such a preference, but if there is, it would deserve a little sneer as PP suggests.
What does DP and PP mean?

Yes, that's exactly what I was meaning.
Sneer.

We need the state government to stop this Test Optional fraud.
