Based on COA, UMD is about $64,000 less expensive over 4 years. But Indiana-Kelley places better in IB. This results in one vote for UMD based on COA, and one vote for IU-Kelley based on IB placement.

Why IB ?

To which schools have you applied RD ?

P.S. I like your intention of combining a finance major with a tech minor.

Will you borrow funds to attend either school ? If so, you need to find a financially feasible alternative.

Have you researched UMD’s IB placement history ?

Investment banking tends to place a high value on elite undergrauate schools such as Ivy League, Chicago, Northwestern, Stanford, Berkeley, NYU-finance, MIT, Michigan-Ross, Virginia-Darden. Georgetown as well. Also, the elite LACs do well (Williams College, for example).
