I understand freshmen internships are very rare and hard to get, but how much does it help my chances if I have a security+ cert? I'm studying for that right now, but don't plan on getting any more before college. If anyone has any info on how they got cybersecurity internships, it would be greatly appreciated.
I plan to attempt to transfer to umd for CS after a year (I know they only accept 100 students, I am fine with staying at umbc if I don't get in). I will be a freshmen this fall at umbc, what classes should I take the first two semesters that will translate the best way possible into umd if I am accepted directly into CS? Any information is appreciated!
(I already have duel enrollment credits for calc 1, calc2, cmsc201, english composition, and a few random electives)
