GWU vs. UMD

<p>Basically I am in love with GWU. The only problem is that GWU is alot more expensive that UMD (instate tuition) and my rents feel that I should go to UMd because it is cheaper and less distracting. I want something, a stat, a story, anything really that can help me convince my rents that GWU is the place for me. I plan on majoring in biology/pre-med (not a major---its a track i know).</p>

<p>I could definitely help you out if you were interested in IR/poli-sci, but I don’t know anything about biology or pre-med. I’m in-state in Maryland too, but I don’t think I’m even going to apply to College Park. I just… can’t! It’s a great school, though.</p>
