[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also looking ahead, other than UMBC, does anyone have any CS school suggestions for a current underclassman that will likely have a 3.8 UW GPA and mid 1400 SAT. [/quote]
DS #1 choice is UMD CS. He did also apply to UMBC. Peer schools applied to: VT, Penn State, NC State. Stretches applied to: UNC, GT. Planning a few privates Jan. RD. (Central MD public, 1550, 4.0 UW, APs, solid ECs). Within 6 hours of DC with that profile you can also find decent CS programs at UDel, a couple of the SUNYs, Ohio State, Purdue (similar to UMD, very hard to get into CS), Rutgers, Indiana. and many on DCUM are bullish on GM.

We went into the process in Sept. feeling pretty good about UMD. Even if direct admit was a shakier prosect, that wasn't an issue because it wasn't hard to transfer in. Now there is a possibility of not getting the direct admit and having to look at one of his other (much more expensive) options. Anyway, fingers crossed it will all work out.   [/quote]

There are also private options of course, but I was focused on the less expensive state schools. The larger private programs like RIT or WPI are likely higher cost even with some merit, than out of state schools.[/quote]
