Baylor, UT, or A&M??? And my goals. Thanks!!!!

College Search & Selection

<p>I've been accepted to Baylor (in texas) under the major Computer Science. And I'm pretty sure I'll be accepted into UT and A&M. Both of my counselors there keep up to date with emails to me. So it's lookin good.</p>

<p>I'm not really sure what I want to be my major, but I'm thinking Computer Science because I'm really good at writing programs. This is actually my first year in cs</p>

<p>But I want to eventually become an fbi agent (my friend's mom is an agent), or have some type of job developing new technology or making something important.</p>

<p>And I'm not sure what college to choose. I want a college and a major that jobs will want most. </p>

<p>This probably sounds kind of stupid, but those are my dreams. I applied to MIT and Cal-Tech, but my counselor never send in my mid-year report and teacher evaluations. So I'm guessing I'm not getting in there. Maybe graduate school or a transfer.</p>

<p>Thanks so much, this is really important to me.</p>

<p>I am not big on Baylor, so I think you would be much better served with UT or A&M. UT is very highly regarded academically, and A&M has many strengths and a unique culture. Baylor isn't even in the same ballpark, in my opinion. Unless there are financial incentives for you to attend Baylor, I would forget it. Your goals are pretty broad right now, so either of the big state universities would give you plenty of room to explore and have plenty of options for the future.</p>

<p>is UT UTexas, UTennessee, or UTampa?</p>

4

<p>UT is best for computer science, and it's the best overall. So it seems like an easy decision to me!</p>

<p>University of Texas.</p>

<p>And I just got invited to this Learning-Center. <a href="http://www.baylor.edu/ecs/llc%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.baylor.edu/ecs/llc&lt;/a>
from baylor. They say they're the best for computer science.</p>

<p>While some other people say UT is the best. Augh!!</p>

<p>And no, I don't have any financial problems. If I was accepted to MIT, I'ld go there.</p>

<p>This is a no-brainer in favor of UT. But don't overestimate your chances of acceptance to UT if you aren't top 10%...competition is FIERCE.</p>

7

<p>Well the counselor gave me a good idea hinting if I'ld be accepted or not. And my rank and sat score was pretty bit higher than some of my friends that got accepted (not top 10%). </p>

<p>But MORE IMPORTANTLY: what does UT have that Baylor doesn't?</p>

8

<p>Better academics. Better sports. More religious freedom.</p>

9

<p>Don't forget a better city! That's VERY important.</p>

10

<p>Better Sports, no doubt. More religious freedom, haha yeah. But I think baylor doesn't discriminate against people who arent baptist. :p</p>

<p>And better academics? Such as better teachers? Better materials learned? Better technology?</p>

<p>UT is definitely superior for computer science, but unless you are accepted into the Turing Scholar program, you won't be able to declare a CS major your freshman year.</p>
