Hey guys,
I’m going to be studying computer science in U.S. and I’ve been accepted to couple universities. However, my main choice would be either Boston University or University of Washington in Seattle.
In terms of Ranking of University for Computer Science major, UW is much better option. However, UW in Seattle only offers Pre-Science where you study a year of Pre-Science and then apply for computer science for second year. I’ve heard that the competition within UW is quite high and there is not a guaranteed spot in CS.
On the other hand, CS in BU isn’t as strong as UW, but it guarantees me a spot in CS major.
Could you guys give me some opinions regarding this choice of whether to take the higher ranked UW with no guarantee to be in CS major or to take BU which assures me a spot in CS but not as good as UW.
Thanks in advance!
