UMD Young Scholars Program

<p>Is anyone here going, and if so, when did you register?
Wanted to know what others hope to get out of this program.
Are you in it for the college credits, the college experience, a resume-booster, or something else entirely?
Or is anyone here planning on applying?
:)</p>

<p>I’m going! I’m kinda in it for a few reasons - mostly because I want the college experience, to meet new people, and and to have fun, but the college credits and resume boost were definitely a help. I wanted a program that wasn’t too long so I could also spend plenty of time at home and this worked for me. Are you also going, or just thinking of doing it?</p>

<p>I’m doing it; my reasons are similar to those of sportsguy’s. For the college experience, to meet new people, have fun, pursue an area of interest (international relations)…</p>

<p>I’m also going. The three credits definitely help, of course… Overall, it seems like a great way to get the college experience!
I’m assuming that a less than average number of people registered for the program, though, because a couple of weeks back they sent an email with a referral program incentive inside. I wasn’t able to refer someone, but it would have been nice to save another $700. :')</p>
