UMCP Scholars vs. UMBC Meyerhoff&Honors

College Search & Selection
1

I made it into the Honors Program and the cut for the Meyerhoff program at UMBC (I will go to a Selection Weekend in March)
I also made it into the Scholars Program at UMD College Park. I am majoring in Bio (maybe double in Psych too) and plan on being part of the Life Sciences group.

I know both colleges and programs are great. The academics are pretty comparable/equal. The Meyerhoff program would definitely have more individualized attention, but I can also find that at UMCP if i seek it out.

What are the pros and cons of these 2 choices?

You are fortunate to have two excellent options! Visit both campuses, talk with the professors and students there, and do your best to imagine spending four years at each of them. If you still can’t choose, and the money works out to be the same, it is perfectly fine to flip a coin.
