<p>Why worry at CP? I'd suggest applying to BU with those stats.</p>

3

<p>You are a shoe in for Maryland and for their honors program,but I wouldn't consider, as someone has suggested, BU over Maryland. Maryland is half the tuition plus, in my opinion, better than BU for many majors.</p>

4

<p>Does Maryland have a better mathematics/Statistics major? That is what I plan to major in.</p>

5

<p>I honestly can't say. Why not go on their web site and check out their majors. Maryland is, however, quite good in engineering; thus, I would imagine that math would be good too. However, if you want math and statistics, you should definitely check out NYU's Courant Institute,which has been reknown in math for years.</p>

<p>i would definately go maryland over bu, cheaper in state, better programs and acc sports</p>

<p>with you stats and proximity to virginia, why not apply to uva as a reach? if your essays and recs are solid you have a decent shot and the programs and environment cannot be beat</p>
