Computer Science: Which School?

College Majors Math/Computer Science Majors

<p>I am currently a HS Senior, I've applied to a few schools and I am wondering which one will be best for a major in CS and possibly a second major in Finance. </p>

<p>So far, I've been accepted into Purdue's CS major (in-state, EA) and I have been deferred by Case Western Reserve until they see this semesters grades and some updated test scores.</p>

<p>I am waiting on decisions from: University of Michigan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Washington University in St. Louis, Georgia Tech, NYU, George Washington University, and Emory. (I know, lots of schools! Due to my financial status I received a Common App waiver and was encouraged to apply to any school that interested me and had the chance of giving me decent aid)</p>

<p>Anyways, which of these schools do you think would be the best for a focus on Computer Science and possibly a dual major, given that I would like to go to grad school and I am even admitted?</p>

<p>Notes: If I should actually post this elsewhere, let me know! And I'm not asking for admission chances, I know all about those. Thank you!</p>

<p>Edit: there are a few more schools I applied too, but they are either insane reaches (Penn) or schools that I am no longer strongly considering (Oberlin, Depaul, etc)</p>

<p>Have you used the net price calculator on every school’s web site to check for affordability? Some of the schools, like UIUC and NYU, are unlikely to be affordable for those with high financial need.</p>

<p>Purdue, if you can afford it, is a perfectly good school for CS.</p>

<p>Emory’s schedules indicate a relatively limited set of CS course offerings each semester.</p>

<p>@ucbalumnus‌ do you think a double Major from Purdue will bee as strong as one from a different school? Thanks. </p>
