Graduate School

<p>Hey guys</p>

<p>I got through Umich, UIUC, Purdue for comp science engineering,
and CMU for computer and electrical engineering.
i basically wanna do comp science, n have heard that cmu is one of the best for it.
Also as far as the costs go-
UIUC-$40000/annum
UMich-42000
Purdue-$25000(includes scholarship)
CMU-53000</p>

<p>Between umich,uiuc and purdue-
1.Umich
I intend doing an MBA(finance) later...n i have heard that umich has a GREAT brand name, so its easier for me to get recruited by the likes of goldman sacchs,jp morgan(n other finance companies) and then its easier to get into wharton harvard stanford for mba
2.UIUC
Has a GREAT engineering program from what i ve found out..especially comp science engineering...and great research in the field too.
3.Purdue
People have told me its 'good' but doesnt quite match up to the other 2, but the cost definately goes in its favour.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help</p>

<p>You really don't have to do both ugrad and grad school at the same school. Choose the best one for your ugrad, and then you can think of grad school later. I'd choose CMU 'cos it's very good in Comp. Sci.</p>

<p>CMU has a very low rate of accepting their own students for CS for grad school, though it's not like it's easy to get into CMU's CS grad program from any school out there.</p>

<p>I don't think CMU is worth $28000 a year in loans over Purdue, though (coming from a CMU alumni that loved it there).</p>
