[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland has only one top-tier public program: UMD. The UMD term can be used by UM, College Park, or UM, Baltimore, which do not have overlapping degrees. While there are definitely other good public colleges in Maryland, they are markedly lower caliber. UMBC, St. Mary's, and Towson are decent options.

UMCP programs with competitive admissions generally require that you start them as a freshman, which means you cannot transfer in after attending MC. However, there are plenty of other top programs at UMCP that are not competitive or take transfer students. That can be an excellent route to save money, too.[/quote]

Not true - I know students who have transferred into business and engineering in the past couple of years after a year of community college. [/quote]

Did you read that some programs are limiting to 100 transfers?  Information about colleges can get stale.[/quote]

This may be true about CS but it definitely is not true across the board. If you have a cumulative 3.6 in all your college work it is an auto admit to the business school. 3-3.6 students are eligible for holistic review for admission to the business school.

Note this must be the GPA for college classes, not HS or AP classes. Heard this directly from business school admissions less than three months ago.[/quote]
