<p>After weighing the pros and cons of paying 160 thousand dollars at Cornell over the next 4 years compared to paying next to nothing at Northeastern as a member of the Scholars program, which covers full tuition, I ended up choosing the latter.</p>

<p>I've been considering the possibility of attending Cornell for Grad school after i get my Bachelor's in either Computer Science or Computer Engineering.</p>

<p>Now, my question is, how difficult will it be to get accepted in Cornell Grad? It would be pretty annoying if i end up being denied for grad school but admitted the first time around for undergrad.</p>

<p>What's the gpa I should aim for to have a really competitive chance?</p>

<p>And will attending Northeastern hurt my chances per say?</p>

<p>if you study computer science/engineering you should be able to get a great job without going to grad school at all.</p>

<p>Would it benefit my career in the long run if i took the extra year to get my Masters?</p>

<p>I could possibly graduate from Northeastern in three years considering that I’ll have upwards of 42 credits from APs going into my freshman year.</p>

<p>I must say that I don’t know how much of a difference an MEng or MS makes in your field. I bet if you do research you can find blogs or articles about it. definitely read those and understand the pros and cons and do not assume that more education is going to necessarily be a worthwhile investment of time, energy, and money.</p>
