US News rates it above UMD in every one of the programs you cite (including poly sci) plus she’ll have access to Hutton Honors. Gorgeous campus, friendly students, and Bloomington is a fantastic college town. The music program is world class. She’ll love it!


Despite all that, this state flagship has over 80% acceptance rate.

UMD looks like better school overall and thus ranked higher at #55 vs #72 IU


Is that due to the engineering and CS majors being so highly ranked there?

If you end up majoring something like political science, UMD would be the winner.
Proximity to DC is big for that kind of major.




Yes, minor in music but wants access to lessons etc.



So sacrifice long term career prospects for music lessons?

Yes but the music school acceptance rate is much lower. Around 25%?

Very respected music school.

With the interests she’s identified (especially the music part) I’d do Indiana.

Ok we are down to the wire here and stuck.

Indiana with Hutton Honors plus scholarship of University of Maryland

DD loves music and is liberal arts focused. Will likely do a minor in music and major in English/ History/Political Science/ Speech Pathology.
