Additional Info:
Decided on CS this year and have since realized Cal Poly isn’t aligned with what I’m looking for. So I haven’t taken many classes.
I have ADHD and Dyslexia (hoping that buys we something with the lower GPA)
Schools I’m considering because of their AI presence (AI does not exist at Cal Poly):
Cornell
UPenn
Columbia
Brown
USC
GTech
UWash
Lemmie know if I should add something. Looking to go private.
