Has anyone compared UMCP scholars with UMBC honors and Pitt honors? Here is the perspective-
seriously considering pre-med. MD resident, so Pitt is 3 hour drive, out of state with merit aid.
UMD- Physiology and Neurobiology, UMBC- Biology/honors , Pitt- Biolgy/Honors.
4 year costs tend to favor UMBC followed by UMD and Pitt, with the merit included for all.
Has anyone gone through a similar dilemma ? Have heard that teachers are great in UMBC, just not sure which one would would help with college GPAs - in terms of being easier to get good grades. Also heard you can easily access Pitt’s undergrad internships.
thank you in advance.
A similar situation /decision for my D, waiting anxiously for an informed answer to above question. My D has full tution covered in umd or UMbc because of 529 md prepaid that I bought when she was young, UMBC offered additional 9000 plus tution scholarship that we may not be able to use because of prepaid, she wants to go Pittsburg. Is it worth paying 35000 for out of state fee at Pitts for neuroscience.is umd scholar program good for pre med?
Good luck- what happens if you don’t use the prepaid amount? If you are gonna lose it I would stay in state - IMO, paying 35k (per yr) out of pocket is a bit much for Pitt, depends on your finances. In my case Pitt did offer some tuition schol.
