<p>How do you guys rate Upenn computer science program? do you think it's better to go to less known school but with better CS program (say U wisc madison) than to go to Upenn (well known school but not top ranked CS program)?</p>
<p>I would go for UW-Madison any time for CS or any other Engineering majors.</p>
<p>I would go to UPenn for better recruiting opportunities.</p>
<p>Well I don't know too much about the UPenn comp sci department specifically but I will tell you that both Google and Microsoft have already had recruiters on campus for the Comp Sci students so I think it is gaining some more respect in terms of career choices after college.</p>
<p>i was just there and my bro's roommate said that the CS is now ABET... which is really good. I am not sure of another CS that is abet in the ivy league</p>
<p>actually the reason why it's now abet certified is because finally upenn put a certain course requirement to get CS degree.
Amusingly, the course requirement is "ethics" of some sort. </p>
<p>FYI, even stanford doesn't have ABET.</p>
<p>jma, are u refering to U Penn?</p>
<p>If I was to put my $0.02 in, I would:</p>
<p>1) Attend Univ of Wisconsin for a BSCS degree
2) Attend U Penn for a MBA with the Info Sys Engineering emphasis to make use of the Wharton Business School</p>
<p>Kenny, I'm referring to Penn.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon isn't ABET either- it's not that important in CS.</p>
