I got accepted into UMBC and College Park and not sure where to go. I am also undecided on major, computer science or CompE most likely CompE. I didn’t not get into the honors college at either school but got an $8k/year scholarship from UMBC. What school would be better for these majors and more importantly offer better experience and internship education?
Was also wondering if there was a chance I could get any more financial aid from either school down the road, my high school gpa is very low due to slacking off in the first 3 years, but currently have straight As senior year.
GPA: 3.58 not including senior year
SAT: 2010
APs: Physics 1 - 4, Physics C - not taken yet, Calc AB - 5 and BC - - not taken yet, Compsci - - not taken yet, English 11 - 4, APUSH - 4, Stat - 4
