Hi,
I’m an International was just admitted to the Honors college and I shall be choosing the EIP!
I just wanted to know other people interested in the Program and you can ask/discuss about EIP here!
No one ? Dayum
My son is a Freshman in EIP. What do you want to know?
I think a similar thread may be why there were initially no postings here…

Hi, I’m an international admitted to the Honors college. I’ve given my preference as EIP ( actually I wrote to Jay and the committee to reconsider my application for honors and then I was admitted)
I wanted to know is the program popular among CS majors ? I’m a CS major and am looking forward to meet new people interested in solving problems and innovating.
Thanks a lot!
@maryversity thanks a ton!
My pleasure! If you are entrepreneurial-minded, Maryland is def a great choice for you! Are you aware do Hinman CEO program?
As you get near the end of EIP, you might like this http://www.hinmanceos.umd.edu
@maryversity thank you. That seems awesome. You just made my choice more difficult. I have been accepted to UT-Austin and U of I for computer science. I’ll probably have to visit to decide.
Yes, visiting is always the best way to get a good feel for “fit”…but in the meantime, I can up the ante if u want with more info about entrepreneurship…actually at Maryland it’s entTERPreneurship haha
Here are some interesting links/reads

Then read this http://www.mtech.umd.edu/news/news_story.php?id=5988 and check out the 16th paragraph down…cut and pasted here…
"Maryland ranked first in public schools. Now let’s talk about the biggest surprise among the public schools on our Index: University of Maryland. Maryland ranks second, with a median capital per founder of $10.3 million.
Who saw that coming? The Terrapins have zero reputation for being an entrepreneurial bunch, but here they are crushing private schools (including the entire Ivy League) on the StartEngine index. Maryland ranks second, with a median IPF of $10.3 million."
Omg, @maryversity
Thanks a lot for all the help and resources. However I’ve decided to stay away from all this atm.
My final exams are just near the corner and this sucks up so much time, cause I just want to know all. Decide dorms, ,make friends.
So I’ll probably start this around March end.
You’ve been of great help ! Thanks a ton!
PCMguy, my son says that there are at least a couple computer science majors in EIP.
