[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to UMBC in the late '80s as an immature little brat. Attending classes with people who were already professionals in their field did wonders for my maturity and skill set. I also made a lot of connections there which led to several summer internships and easy employment once I graduated. It's been 25 years since I graduated and I look back on my education from UMBC as a very positive time. UMBC is quite a bit bigger now but it's still smaller than UMCP which will lead to smaller classes. I think the quality of education will be very similar at both schools.[/quote]

OP here.  
I am reading college confidential and a number of UMBC students end up going to Harvard medical school. I am thinking because the internship opportunities might be better for undergrads at UMBC than at UMD. My DC is very interested in going to med school.

I am hearing really good things about UMBC. The one negative (for my kid) would be that a lot of HS friends are going to UMD (Is this a negative or a positive? I don't know).

Anyways - I am thrilled that as MD residents  we have this choice for undergrad. These are solid schools for STEM.

Keep it coming, folks![/quote]
