Does it matter if I go to UCSD or Stanford or Berkeley for undergrad CS? Will it affect job offers?
Have you been accepted to all three and are now, in June, trying to decide which to accept?
Yes @JenJenJenJen
Hmmm. Is it too late to ask this question?
Deadline to SIR for UC was June 1st, I believe. If you didn’t SIR, then you’re in trouble, if you SIR’d to 3 schools they might all reject you, you can only SIR one school. All other things aside, pick the one Stanford imo unless it’s a lot cheaper for Berkeley or SD.
@Kashdog if you are being serious, which sounds questionable, then I hate to inform you that it is too late. See what @chip78651 said above me, he/she is correct.
Hi @KashDog , are there any special circumstances that warrant your later-than-usual SIR?
If not, one or more of the colleges may be lenient with you if you call or visit the undergraduate admissions office!
In any case, to answer your question:
It depends on SO many factors. Probably in the following order:
Which college offers the best program for your major?
Which college will provide you with the most resources/internships/research opportunities?
Are all the colleges financially feasible?
Are you looking for a certain population of people with a similar religion or ideology?
Are sports important to you?
Is a certain weather, the presence of nature, or living in a city or small college town conducive to good mental health?
Let us know what you decide!
Does not matter where you go, if you can’t SIR on time :). And for CS, you get jobs with any of those. If not, it’s probably not due to the school you go to.
