I do wonder if going DE means you can't get into UMD competitive programs because you arent coming in as a freshman.
DE student still apply as freshman. And they do not receive automatic transfer to UMD like other students who complete two year MC degrees and meet minimum requirements.
That is false. All high school students who do any amount of montgomery college classes apply to UMD and all other schools as freshman. There is no automatic transfer but it is very likely they get in.
How is this different from what PP poster said? You both said apply as freshman and no guaranteed transfer.
You may or may not get in. A lot of kids this year did not get in
