<p>In what order would you attend these schools for computer science?</p>
<p>In what order would you attend these schools for CS but with a full scholarship at CMU SCS and a 10k financial aid package for the ivies?</p>
<p>You've got it in the right order imo.</p>
<p>full scholarship at CMU SCS?</p>
<p>CMU >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> World</p>
<p>Without the scholarship</p>
<p>CMU SCS > UPenn & Columbia</p>
<p>In my mind only Stanford and MIT can compete with CMU for CS.</p>
<p>yea for comp sci, cmu will pretty much romp everything except mit and stan and perhaps caltech.</p>
<p>Agreed: CMU SCS >> Penn, CMU SCS >> Columbia.</p>
<p>(Stanford, MIT, and Berkeley are comparable to CMU SCS...Caltech is not as good for CS)</p>
<p>Oh for God's sake... here I got rejected from MIT and waitlisted at Stanford, yet accepted to CMU SCS. That pretty much matches what you guys are saying.</p>
<p>saber is right about Caltech - CS is not their specialty. CS is probably what CMU is most famous for, and rightly so. If you got a full scholarship to SCS, and you want to study CS, send in your enrollment deposit RIGHT NOW if you haven't already done so.</p>
<p>Or you can just go someplace else and try to find a way to donate that scholarship to me. Maybe I could even split it with ThinkDifferent...</p>
<p>Sounds good to me, KK.</p>
<p>Holy crap, full ride to CMU CS? You deffinately have to go there. CMU is such a cool school, I don't go there, but I visited for about 4 days and it is awesome, so is the CS program. I totally envy you.</p>
<p>What kind of stats do you need to get a full ride to CMU SCS? Did you cure cancer and aids or something?</p>
<p>it's computer science, silly.... he cured COMPUTER cancer i.e. adware...</p>
<p>No actually i dont have amazing stats at all, esp comp sci wise (my biggest achievement is getting a 5 on Comp Sci A...). I really think they gave me the scholarship because I would diversify the school. I'm white. Its just that i play sports for HS and stuff like that. At my interview i said i played basketball for my school and the guy flipped out, saying, "Wow, we dont have much of that here." Yeah...</p>
<p>Oh well, i'm going to columbia seas anyway. I know you guys are gonna kill me for making such a stupid decision but i just didnt feel right at CMU. Hopefully that justifies the tens of thousands of dollars i'm losing, heh.</p>
<p>If you feel right there, go. You gotta be happy for your four years.</p>
