<p>So as the title suggests, I'm thinking of transferring at the end of next year. I currently attend NJIT and am displeased with the social life predominantly, but I also believe there are nicer campuses out there and better curricula available. I'm studying computer science/IT at the moment, and did some research on which schools offer the best education in these subjects. </p>
<p>One of my questions is, "What does it realistically take to be able to transfer into a school such as Cornell or Carnegie Mellon?" Both schools seemed to have a decent acceptance rate and are top-class in terms of my field. My other question is regarding the University of Illinois. I did a little research and it seemed that the admission rate was quite high, the tuition fee was pretty low, but yet on a list of the top computer science schools, it was ranked at number three. This just confuses me due to it seeming as though acceptance would be easy there.</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice/answers in advance.</p>
