<p>Hrm. I would apply CMU. Why? It has a greater amount of funds to help subsidize your education, as opposed to NYU, who slammed me with ... a lot of loans (hence, I'm not going.)</p>
<p>Too bad they don't have an ED-II option at either of the schools. Now that would rock, in case you didn't get in one, ED-II the other.</p>
<p>CMU has a ED II, but it's only a couple of days after ED I, (around 15?). How would I know if the ED I school accepted me or not before I apply ED II? </p>
<p>Plus I thought we can ED only one school? regardless of ED I or ED II</p>
<p>Check out: RPI, SUNY-Stony Brook, Union College(NY), WPI,
All of these are good match schools with great CS departments.</p>
<p>CMU's CS department is their most difficult and the toughest to get admitted to. It may be as difficult or more difficult than MIT, simply because of the workload.</p>
<p>Can i get more opinions on whether I can get into CMU/NYU or not? and have someone answer my above question regarding ED?</p>
<p>Munkee, ED decisions come out by December. If you want to take the chance and apply NYU ED then hope to receive a response ASAP, then be my guest.</p>
<p>If not...</p>
<p>I was just responding to what you said:</p>
<p>"Too bad they don't have an ED-II option at either of the schools. Now that would rock, in case you didn't get in one, ED-II the other."</p>
<p>I wasn't aware that you could do ED to two schools.</p>
<p>Well, here's the catch: you cannot do BOTH UNLESS you receive a rejection from NYU first. If NYU gives you a deferral or a rejection, then you are clear from your ED obligation and thus, you are not obligated to go under the ED contract.</p>
<p>You cannot apply to CMU ED-II without knowing the response from NYU.</p>
