<p>thanks for the input.</p>

<p>yes.</p>

<p>I am doing a more in depth overnight visit this week at GC. I did attend the admitted student’s day at UIUC recently. Did attend 100 level classes. yes, they were big. One thing I heard was that the upper class classes were smaller in my major.</p>

<p>one thing I am percolating up is:</p>

<p>GC - VERY good for grad school. I learned at my visit there that something like 80 pct go on for advance academic degrees. If this is my end state, this is definitely the place.</p>

<p>UIUC - very good for getting a job later (aka “preprofessional”). I am guessing there would be a whole lot for job opportunity knocking after graduation here than at GC, especially in CS. I was going to say, “a whole lot of job opportunity in four years at UIUC than GC” , but I did not since the 4 yr grad rate is significantly lower at UIUC than GC. </p>

<p>So, yes, the statement might more accurately be ’ i’d have a whole lot more job opportunity at UIUC in 5 or 6 yrs than at GC’. But then by that time I might have a masters and-or a phd at GC - or a compsci job <em>somewhere</em>. I heard at my GC visit students getting internships and jobs at Microsoft, APple, and EPIc in Madison , Wi.</p>
