My son has gotten accepted to both as well. He loved the Smith building and the UMD campus, partly because of its proximity to Washington D.C. He likes major metros and so the rural setting in Bloomington did not appeal to him. The placement at Kelley is great, considering that it is a large school (2000 students). I think UMD is more of a regional school and most of their placement is in the DMV area with 15% in NYC. They do have a Wall Street Fellows program which is similar to Kelley’s IB workshop, although I am not sure what the outcomes are for WS Fellows. UMD has the better Engineering and CS dept. My son is also interested in Finance (Major) and CS (minor)
