Best Univerisites for Computer Science in Texas

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys,
I've applied to four universities for computer science spring 2012,namely UT Austin,UT Dallas,Texas A&M,and Texas Tech, and I might apply to University of Houston later on.</p>

<p>Recently,I got acceptance from UT Dallas ,</p>

<p>Although I'm still waiting for the decision by UT Austin and TAMU and I don't know my chances but I've heard that they are the top schools in TX for CS major.</p>

<p>However, I want to know is UTD a good place for computer science? ? In terms of a good education,a good social life and environment, would it be a wise decision for me to join it?</p>

<p>I've surfed the internet and found from sources such as US NEWS,but I feel it would be better to get opinions from you,</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>UT Austin has the best computer science program in the state of Texas.</p>

<p>Hi ,thanks for the reply,
but I already know that :slight_smile: as I mentioned that I’ve already applied in UT Austin and TAMU, but I think my chances of getting into them are very slim,</p>

<p>so thats why I am asking how is University of Texas at Dallas for a BS in computer science?? and how is it in terms of reputation,student life,etc??</p>

<p>anybody?? :P</p>

<p>Well, what are your stats?</p>

<p>Have you visited the CS programs at these schools.</p>

<p>Can you afford these schools?</p>

<p>I would think that the CS programs at UT, TAMU and TT are all good.</p>

<p>*Anyhow ,my gpa is average,below 3 ,
*</p>

<p>oh…that’s a problem.</p>

<p>thank you for the reply,</p>

<p>As for my stats,</p>

<p>I have international credentials from foreign university. I had earned about 60 credits consisting mostly of all major classes related to computer science… and I’ve applied as a transfer to the universities (for spring 2012) I mentioned above.My cumulative gpa is 2.64.</p>

<p>Honestly ,I wasn’t sure if I’ll get accepted in any of the universities,but apparently I just got accepted in UT Dallas . I am still waiting for the decision by UT Austin…and TAMU…</p>

<p>I haven’t visited any of the schools ,and yeah I have the financial ability to afford any of these schools .</p>

<p>Why are you only looking in Texas?</p>

<p>Considering the Dallas-Ft Worth metroplex, UTD grads should have plenty job opportunities. Contact the CS department to see if they could give you any info about their co-op called the IPP.</p>

<p>Its mainly because most of my family lives in TX,and my parents also want me to study in TX.</p>
