<p>I got accepted to both CMU SCS and Hopkins Computer Science. My dad enrolled me at CMU, was this the right move? I got the same aid package for each.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon is definitely better at CS. I don’t really see that much of a difference in the other aspect of the schools. I guess CMU is known for being very techy and JH is known for its…premed? Unless you really, really want better weather or food, CMU is better.</p>
<p>CMU is better. Number 2 ranked CS school and has a pipeline to Google and Microsoft.</p>
<p>If you are 100% sure you only want to do CS and/or something techy, then Carnagie Mellon for the wolf. It’s one of the most renowned places for computer science.</p>
<p>Actually, while JHU isn’t highly ranked in CS, it’s easily better than CMU for natural language processing, and possibly a few other areas of CS that I’m not thinking of.</p>
<p>But SCS is excellent in general, so if your interests are in other areas of CS, then CMU is probably the better option.</p>
<p>JHU is a stronger school than CMU but CS is the strongest major at CMU. If you plan to go for a phD in CS, I would go with CMU because you’ll probably have better research opportunities. JHU does have strong areas in computer surgery and natural language processing though. If you plan to get a job or go to professional school, I would go with JHU because it’s a more well rounded university. It attracts a more diverse range of employers and it will be helpful if you want to look for a job that isn’t in software engineering. </p>

<p>They recruit at both schools. Google probably gets more people from CMU because more people there are looking for a software engineering career.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone</p>
