<p>Hi,
I had received the Master of Science admission of Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley Campus(Software Engineering) and Brown University(Computer Science). </p>
<p>I feel really hard to make a choice between them because CMU-SV has a high reputation in CS and SE, and the Silicon Valley is a wonderful place full of job opportunity, meanwhile, Brown has a good CS Education, and it's Ivy League.</p>
<p>CMU-SV is 1 year program, while Brown is 1 and a half.</p>
<p>CMU would be the best choice because you would be living in the valley and would have tons of internships to choose among. It’s all about the internships, not Ivy League.</p>
<p>Thank you for your reply, but I am an international student from China, do you think 1 year’s study is enough for me to get a job in Silicon Valley?</p>
<p>Although I like Brown so much and it is really good for CS but CMU is just better for CS. And the fact that you will be stationed at SV makes it even sweeter for you the moment you are about the leave CMU with your diploma. This is CMU, in a heartbeat.</p>
<p>And, btw, there is no Ivy league in CS or engineering. There is only MIT/Stanford/Berkeley/CMU for CS or MIT/Stanford/Berkeley/Caltech for engineering. It’s like there is Harvard/Stanford/Wharton for MBA or Yale/Harvard/Stanford for law.</p>
<p>I too was accepted into the CMU SV Master’s program. I am also trying to decide whether to go there or not. I was just wondering if any of you know whether the CMU SV program is well recognized as a good master’s program. I only ask this because I know CMU in Pittsburgh is well known as being a phenomenal institution but because CMU in SV is quite a young program I am curious to know how it is viewed by tech companies.</p>
