<p>Major: Computer Science/Computer Engineering or Business?</p>
<p>I know each one of these schools has top 10 computer science and engineering programs in addition to top 10 business programs. I'm still not sure about going the business route or sticking with CS or CE.</p>
<p>Can’t really go wrong with either. The real question is do you want to wear sunglasses, a cowboy boots, or a down jacket?</p>
<p>Tuition is also a really big one…</p>
<p>^^^DITTO and BINGO!!! If you live in Cali, go to Cal, if you live in Texas go to UTA, and if you live in Michigan become a Wolverine (assuming you get accepted to these schools). My son (MechE major) got accepted to all of them but since he lives in CA, he chose Cal.</p>
<p>Cal, Michigan, and Texas are all very similar universities. They’re all very large research institutions with top 10 CE, CS and business programs. They all also have open campuses with liberal student bodies. </p>
<p>The difference between these programs at these schools is negligible, but if I had to rank them I’d say:</p>
<p>CS:
Cal, Texas, Michigan</p>
<p>CE:
Cal, Texas, Michigan</p>
<p>Business:
Michigan, Cal, Texas</p>
<p>The engineering and business programs at all 3 of these universities are very difficult to get accepted into, so assuming you get in, I’d just go for the one that’s the best fit for you.</p>
<p>All 3 schools are similar versions of each other. If you get into any one of the above colleges, you are going to equally as strong campuses. UCB/ UT Austin/ UM/ UVA are all on the same boat on my opinion. They are all equally strong, academically challenging colleges which provides students endless opportunities. If you are in CA or on the Left Coast, go to UC Berkeley, if you are in Michigan or the Midwest, go to UMich, if you are in Texas or that region, go to UT. They are all great schools and are equally as comparable.</p>
<p>^I saw a couple of your posts and I can’t decide if you’re a ■■■■■ or just ignorant. Either way, I am just going to stay away . . .</p>
<p>Dude I am not trolling but I am just stating my honest opinions about things. Aren’t we all entitled to our own opinions.</p>
<p>Yeah you’re right, we all are. I just took a quick glance at your post history, that’s all.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What if you don’t live in any of those states? The vast majority of Americans do not live in those states.</p>
<p>If you have the aptitude for Comp Science/Engineering, go with that for undergrad. You can always get an MBA. I am not certain of undergrad business majors…I think having a solid core undergrad in Engineering + MBA will take you to better places than just an undergrad business.</p>
<p>As for if you don’t live in those states and really want to choose between the 3 schools, I’d choose Cal (just being in the bay area has more opportunities). Again, you’d need to visit all the schools (presuming you get in everywhere) and find the best fit for YOU and not go by rankings.</p>
<p>Totally agree with ^.</p>
<p>I’d only go to Texas over those two if I lived in-state or had a significant schollie.</p>
<p>As far as programs go Cal EECS>the rest (only Stanford/MIT would get the UG nod over Cal for CS), Ross (Michigan) is slightly better than Haas (Cal), but both are easily better than McCombs (Tx). Let’s not even let overall prestige enter into the ledger…</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say that Ross is any better than Haas, grad or undergrad; but Carnegie Mellon, Harvey Mudd, and Caltech are comparable if not better than Berkeley for undergraduate computer science.</p>
<p>I got into all three and two Ivies, Cornell and Penn, and I chose Cal for it’s EECS program and I’m loving it. If you are a CS/EECS major, then you have to be here to realize what a CS powerhouse Berkeley is (On par with Stanford/MIT. Personally, I’d place it above Stanford but that would draw too much of negative stereotypical opinion haha 
). Basically, your choice should depend on your major.
As for as Computer Science goes, Berkeley really takes the lead. The tough call is business, where Haas is slightly better than Ross but it’s too close to call, really. </p>
<p>Just my two cents. :)</p>
