Hi. I am a freshman enrolling in fall this year. I have already decided to enter the University of Maryland under the major of accounting. But today morning I just receive the acceptance email of UIUC that I am admitted from waitlist. UIUC also accepts me into its business school. So now I am in quite a dilemma.

I think it’s pretty nice to study in MD as it it close to D.C. so business students may have much opportunists there. And I also know that UMD has a good reputation. But after all UIUC has a much higher ranking.

To help me decide I would like to ask a few questions.

1. Is it difficult to major in accounting as I am in business assigned now? It’s a top program and is very attractive.

2. The number of Intl students like me in UIUC is very large. Actually I am a bit afraid that I come here to study but meet most people from my own country…

3. After being admitted into UMD I do search on internet and find a lot of positive comments about this school. And I also begin to take to it now… What about UIUC? Do alumni usually love it and consider it a right choice?

Many thanks for your help!!!
