Did you apply priority or regular decision？ I don’t know why you don’t get into honor program. I am from NJ too, but fortunately I live in my uncle’s house(it saves me about 10k per year) That’s why I chose UMCP over Rutgers. I think you should apply for Princeton(I don’t understand why you apply for only public schools since they don’t usually offer that much scholarship to out-of-state students.) UMCP has strong math department, but Rutgers math is not bad too. If financial aid is really a big deal. Then I won’t consider UMCP. I am currently a math major, but I am freshman. So I can’t tell you any significant experience. UMCP does offer a lot of research and internship opportunities, and I believe you will have fun here.
