College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>Hi, I am a HS senior with a 3.5GPA tough courses private school. 2100 SAT's</p>

<p>I am interested in Software Engnr or CE. I have taken AP Comp Sc in 10th grade and done Webdesign stuff in my free time. I enjoy programming.</p>

<p>My college list is
UIUC
UT
GT
CMU</p>

<p>Need to add some more colleges and I wanted advise regarding 'rounded' colleges with good CS majors. I would like to avoid extreme cold (I am aware UIUC/CMU gonna be real cold, lol, thats why I need suggestions). Would like a to have a real college campus experience, but rah rah spirit is not a priority.</p>

<p>I am OOS (no aid) US citizen living abroad. Thanks!</p>

<p>I’d suggest you investigate some of the fine west coast schools:</p>

<p>UCB ( [Computer</a> Science Division | EECS at UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/]Computer”>http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/) )</p>

<p>Cal Poly SLO ( [Bachelor</a> of Science in Software Engineering - Cal Poly Computer Science Department](<a href=“http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/programs/bs-se/]Bachelor”>http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/programs/bs-se/) )</p>

<p>UCSB ( [Department</a> of Computer Science](<a href=“http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/]Department”>http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/) )</p>

<p>With your stats you have a decent chance of getting in (though budget concerns may impact OOS candidates.) I can’t speak to what your “real college experience” will be like but I can guarantee no snow… :)</p>

<p>This post is good help, DS has similar stats, no snow requirement!</p>

<p>Osdad UCSB will be a good choice for OOS kids? Will look into their CS program, although am scared of their bikini and beer reputation!</p>
