Realistically chance me on top CS schools?

[Catcherinthetoast]

@CTDad-classof2022

My S is applying CS for the Fall 2022. Northeastern and Brown were two of the schools that we looked into and then didn’t bother applying to once we dug in on the CS program. Both are good schools, neither are particularly strong in CS, and both had unique learning environments that either a student has to want or not want. Putting all that together, we felt that they didn’t justify the cost of attending the schools

Totally respect the decision not to apply to a particular school but the “justify the cost” argument was contradicted by a prior ROI thread of CS programs that showed mostly elites and in particularly Brown towards the top…
