<p>UMBC is a MUCH smaller school that MD.</p>
<p>There are under 10,000 undergrads at UMBC. MD has twice that size. I don’t know how the numbers in the individual departments stack up but I assume there is also a difference.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume you may get more time with the professor or TA at UMBC. I’m not sure if this is true, but I can see why you might think so.</p>
<p>Having not gone to UMBC, I can only speak for MD.</p>
<p>If math is not your strong suit, a math major is going to be extremely difficult - it’s difficult even for those where math /is/ their strong suit. That said, you can always consider a math minor if the classes are getting too tough to hack. I think it’s a good idea to attempt it. </p>
<p>That said, in the more difficult classes, getting an appointment with the TA or professor is hard. You can’t wait until the day before an assignment is due, otherwise there will be a line out the building for help.</p>
<p>Are you organized? Do you think you will be able to “keep up”, checking in with TAs and the prof along the way, and not letting your misunderstandings snowball? I know I have a tendency to “let things go” until the assignment is due, and if you do, too, then just be warned you may not get the help and attention you need.</p>
<p>If you’re quite organized, though, I think you can handle CP :). </p>
<p>Also, it’s totally important that one school has art education and the other doesn’t!!</p>
<p>Seems like CP is a better fit…</p>
