[quote=Anonymous]My kid attends UMBC and is in the Honors College. He spent far more time on the supplemental essays than the Common App essay (and then on the application for the living learning community dorm floor). For him, it was worth it, as he wanted a STEM program, but not the large school experience (and attending out of area higher ranked STEM options not an option due to health related). The HC can be a good way to meet people, especially if living in the LLC first year. It can also help the student explore interest areas outside of their major via the honors seminars.  My student enjoys the peer group, esp. the year 1 dorm experience with like-minded studious friends. With a relatively small graduate school, options to work in labs or academic areas for undergrads on campus have been good. There are gatherings and off campus trips throughout the year.     IME, the HC stats were higher than the 2022 fall admit stats listed online: 2022 First-Time First-Year Class Total First-Year Enrollment: 2,144 Average GPA: 3.96 Average SAT Score: 1303 (2-part).  Good luck in whatever you decide![/quote]
