OK thanks for the advice! Yes, I took the PSAT, my index is 227 so I am hoping for a possibility of national merit finalist (UTD is on my list because of the national merit scholarship which is really good). I will look more into NJIT.
For UMD I have heard some things about overcrowding, is it as bad as most other state schools or even worse?
I will look into the other private universities you suggested.
