<p>Assuming money is not an issue, which one would you say is the strongest undergraduate program, the better recruitment for jobs in the field and the overall experience both within the department and the school in general please?</p>
<p>2100's SAT, 3.9 GPA unweighted with 10 AP's strong math, bit shy, Long Island resident. Cornell would be in college of arts and sciences not enginerring</p>
<p>I really like them all....your thoughts would be most helpful</p>
<p>Without any other info I would probably prefer Cornell or Stony Brook. But you can’t go too far wrong with any of these.</p>
<p>Why not wait and see where you get in first? ;)</p>
<p>i have been accepted to a couple already…</p>
<p>Tough call</p>
<p>Life is good…</p>
<p>also your thoughts on Northeastern for CS please</p>
<p>Tough to determine the nuances of each CS program and school…HELP!</p>
<ol>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Rochester</li>
<li>RPI</li>
<li>Northeastern</li>
<li>Stony Brook</li>
</ol>
<p>Cornell would be the best.</p>
<p>Rochester, RPI, Stony Brook are all about the same academically for computer science although I would give a Stony Brook a small edge over the other two. The other two are significantly higher ranked than Stony Brook in the national rankings though.</p>
<p>Rochester would be a great choice if you like liberal arts in addition to computer science.</p>
<p>RPI is a techie school. Lots of students there study engineering and computer science. It’s quite good in these fields.</p>
<p>Stony Brook isn’t well know for liberal arts. It’s great for computer science and other STEM majors. Stony Brook has been investing in computing facilities so that’s nice. Microsoft has an office about 20 minutes away. Stony Brook also has a low tuition rate for you since you are instate.</p>
<p>Northeastern isn’t too well known for computer science but definitely not bad. A huge benefit of going to Northeastern is its coop program. Great for getting experience working.</p>
<p>Rochester seemed to be grad oriented as undergraduate CS majors are only 20-30 in number. Loved the school but concerned it is not undergraduate focused. RPI seemed to be the opposite, with strong undergraduate CS program. Cornell is notch higher but witch program will allow me to thrive and not just be another another cog…</p>
<p>The data I see on U.Rochester’s site indicates more like 60 CS grads per year. RPI of course would be higher since it is a science/technology school.
The only problem with Cornell is getting in ;-)</p>
<p>Rochester graduates about 25-30 CS majors last few years…shrinkage?
Cornell is strongest but others also seem good with Northeaster a tad less?
thanks</p>
<p>Cornell
RPI
U.Rochester
Northeastern</p>
<p>But these schools are all very different so it is hard to compare them. RPI is a science/tech school with a gender imbalance, Cornell is a large Ivy way out in the country, NEU is a co-op based school in the middle of Boston…
Have you visited these schools. Do you want to do a co-op?</p>
<p>Hi
I also got in to Wpi with nice merit. Will be visiting API and neu in a few weeks. All others I have visited. CooP is nice plus but overall best fit more important.</p>
<p>I have a son studying CS at WPI, which he chose over RPI. There is a huge overlap in applicants between those two schools. He also evaluated U.Rochester but ultimately dropped it from his list of schools to apply to once his EA decisions came in. He did like it though, so it was on the list. Loved Cornell! No interest in NEU due to location, size and co-op (can get a Master’s in 5 years at WPI). Let me know if you have specific WPI questions. Perhaps my son could talk to you when you are on campus?</p>
