We live near UMD and so have a good sense of the school and area and have picked up a lot of great Smith info from CC and the dedicated Terp posters. But if you chose Smith–or chose another school instead–can you tell us what made your decision?
Background: We were looking forward to the Smith presentation at today’s Admitted Students Day to help with his decision, but it was cancelled. Due to NMF scholarship deadlines at the other schools he’s considering, he needs to make a decision by April 1st and no more Admitted Students Days before then. We did sign up for the March 27 Smith Friday, but that seems to be a shorter Smith session than what’s offered on Admitted day, and leaves only a few days to decide.
He narrowed his choices down to UMD, Pitt and Northeastern. Due to scholarships, cost isn’t an issue.
A plus for Northeastern is their co-op program and the work experience it provides, so we’d be very interested to hear about Smith experiences with internships and recruiting.
Thanks in advance for your help.
