Hello,
I got rejected from UMD for Fall 2023 and am going to attend UMBC now. Although I am quite happy with UMBC (heard it’s great for government jobs and such), I want to keep my options open. Do you have any advice for external transfers?

I know for CS UMBC’s intro courses don’t transfer, but would getting the other transfer credits (English Composition and Calculus) and taking the Exemption Exam be the best way to go about it (or would I still need the Gateway credits to get in)? I know of MTAP and did want to go through MC, but my parents were against it initially and not sure they’d be okay with me going there now considering we already made the enrollment deposit. Any advice would be much appreciated!
