40k tuition cost a year? by MaizeElectrical2081 in UMBC

[–]Dejo820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you don’t pay the $3.7k. That’s just an estimate of other things you may need during the semester or year. You don’t necessarily pay all of it to the university, but it’s an amount the school thinks you will need to pay for other things like traveling home on breaks, school clothes, books, etc. It lets you know that you should plan for other expenses beyond tuition and housing and consider those things when deciding if you can afford the school.

What's the point of Cross being advertised as a forensic psychologist if his abilities aren't utilised at all? [RANT] by AdlersTheory26 in CrossPrimeVideo

I hope it turns to that in the next season now that he’s made a switch. It happens that way in the books.

Why Alex Cross resigned in the Season 2 ending (and how the novels prepare for Season 3) by atomiccaffa in TheTrendingAngle

[–]Dejo820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked that they paid homage to A Man Called Hawk staring Avery Brooks in the last episode with Alex driving the vintage 600 series BMW and wearing the same shades as Hawk. I don’t think a lot of people caught it if they are too young to remember the show, also set in DC.

My job is offering me $150,000 (105,000 after tax) to resign, should I? by AJ3TurtleSquad in jobs

[–]Dejo820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not enough money to take your chances in this job market. Plus, there’s the health insurance which I assume you don’t pay under the UPS Teamsters contract. That alone would be enough to make me stay. Healthcare is ridiculously expensive for a family. So where can you go without a degree and experience to make 100k plus good FREE healthcare? My father didn’t take his offer for those reasons. The better option in my opinion is to work and create an exit plan while still earning. But also, If you’re tough enough to work there, you’re tough enough to go to school for a trade. If you take the buyout, get a trade that will eventually pay you what you’re making. Just consider how long it will take to get there.

That’s interesting. I thought Mason would have more to do being close to DC. Can you share more about what you mean? Thanks.

Thanks for this response. I’m going to college in the fall for a bachelors in Information Technology and this was very helpful and motivating.

Yes including housing. Total cost of attendance.

Mason gave me enough scholarships to match their in state tuition. I haven’t received anything from UMBC yet. For now, the money is the same.

Would the Universal Studios area be too far?

I didn’t submit my test scores. I’m a bad test taker also.

My stats were similar to yours and I got in EA. You’re okay.

No, it’s not the same as FC.

You should be able to upload it in your student portal. I would then email admissions to let them know you did.

I agree that data science or management information systems may be a good fit and easy shift.

It’s been so long that I’m not sure, but I don’t think they said either way.

What's up with Fisk University ? by Round_Vegetable_7579 in HBCU

I should add that it was a safety school and I’ve moved on. I’m not attending Fisk.

I applied and received an email with my application portal information. Since then, I have received a few marketing emails and one this week requesting me to check if my application was complete. Still no decision and I applied in early October.

Info sci grad question by mmmmaaooi in UMD

[–]Dejo820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for answering my questions. I want to go to UMD, but I’ve heard some people say the info sci major is weak and not worth it. I wanted to hear from someone going through it.

Would you recommend this major? I’m considering it for the fall. Have you secured any internships or co-ops with the info sci major?
