Applicant's Advice
"College admissions is tough, especially for Asian-American CS majors. For every person who gets in and shares, 20 others don't. Don't become too optimistic and get hopes crushed. You'll be okay no matter what. It takes courage to apply. Consider in-state and affordable options like UMD which offers strong CS and cost savings through AP credits."
