<p>I'm an international student...I applied for MS in CS</p>
<p>As I finished receiving the final acceptance and rejection letters from all my colleges there are two that stick out for me and I am having a hard time deciding what to do.</p>
<p>I was admitted into Indiana University Bloomington as a direct admit to their School of Informatics and Computing.</p>
<p>I have also recently been accepted into USC Viterbi for the Spring Semester...not ideal but I really like USC and I love our California weather!!</p>
<p>I'm interested in Game Development which is the best at USC.
Also finance is NOT a MAJOR factor but it is definitely one of many!</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP ME!!! Don't know what to do/need help figuring things out!</p>
<p>For a run-of-the-mill CS degree, I’d say it doesn’t matter whether you go to Indiana or USC. But if you really want to do games, it’s worth sitting out a semester to get into USC’s program.</p>
<p>I did go to USC, so I may have an inherent bias. (Although my sister got her BS at Indiana, and I have an IU sweatshirt that I wear a lot.)</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!
But doesn’t USC promise better internships and job opportunities? And will it affect my chances of getting a good one if I start my program in spring?</p>
<p>Btw I got an email from USC saying they may admit me in Fall itself…!
If I get in then USC it is! If not then I’ll still be #confused! <em>fingers crossed</em></p>
<p>USC is more well known for computer science than Indiana. But for grad school you really want to focus on the specific program. Since the USC program is also a better fit for you, I’d say it’s definitely worth waiting until spring.</p>
