I really wanted to like it, but I went up to tour it and stepping inside the furnas building nearly made me claustrophobic 😅. I could deal with the weather if it was a nicer campus/area but I just feel like I'd get bad seasonal depression.
And thanks!

you still looking for more or you think you’re good with 10?

I'd probably like another option or two. Honestly I'm pretty sure I can get a good program most anywhere with my stats, so at this point I'm just looking for campus feel.
I just wish I had in-state access to the UCs, UW, or GTech. But you might as well be applying to Harvard OOS

very true, i heard UMD doesn’t give a lot of aid to OOS

Yeah it's not terrible from the NPC I did but it's not great. I am a "legacy" (my dad went there for undergrad, and they ask for it on Common app so 🤷♂️)
silent quartz
oh nice, that could maybe give you extra money

I love pitt and umd and this list is pretty solid overall but GW is certainly not a safety for anybody
