<p>Hey guys I have been really interested in WashU. And am fairly positive I can get in.
Anyways the real question is do any of you all know about the Computer Science department at WashU. I understand that it is considered the Stanford of the Midwest, but does it still hold a prestigious spot in the software age. Would you all recommend it if I were to get in? The major thing that caought my attention would be the duel program because I wanted to do economics with CS. Also what are some great schools for software engineering besides the big names like MIT, CalTech, and Stanford.
Thanks for all your help</p>

<p>No one should be “fairly positive” about admission to Wash U. The admissions process can be a crap shoot. Other schools for software engineering could be Carnegie Mellon, University of Washington, Rose-Hulman, Case Western Reserve, or Purdue.</p>

<p>What I meant was my grades and connections give me a great chance.
But yes you are right nothing is certain.
Do you know any “cheap” schools or underated as a better word.
cheap is a good word but I couldn’t think of anything.
Close to vicinity of NAshville Tennessee
Thanks again</p>

<p>Feel free to private message me any questions…I am a senior in Engineering majoring in Computer Science, Economics, and Mathematics (fun, I know) but seems to match what you’re looking for.</p>

<p>For a computer related degree, the Stanford of the midwest seems to be a couple hours north in urbana, IL. In fact, I see that UIUC is actually tied in rank with Stanford in this field of study.</p>

<p>WashU does not appear in the top ranking computer engineering; it does, however, appear as a top school in BME. </p>
