<p>hello everyone. I am a sophomore who wants to transfer during the fall from my current college, Saint Marys College in Indiana. I was just wondering if anyone could give me a good list of Computer Science schools in the east coast. I know about the Ivys but I would like to know more about other programs such as VirginiaTech and Temple U which are not the are famous as the Ivys but have a strong computer science program. I am an international student and a woman so I would like a school that is a little diverse (not just predominantly white). I would really like a wide range of schools, I already have my personal ranking but any help would be nice. I have good grades, Thank you. I appreciate the help </p>
<p>You really shouldn’t post your full personal information out here (names not needed). You can edit your post for 15 minutes… It is a huge step up to the Ivies from where you are, not a very likely scenario. Why do you want to transfer? What can you afford? </p>
<p>@Chachis96 you have a few minutes left to edit…you should remove your name</p>
<p>(I edited your post to remove your name, OP.)</p>
<p>You say that you’re an international student. Is money an issue for you? There are great computer science programs at some public institutions, but they are unlikely to give you sufficient financial aid especially as a transfer student. Examples are Ohio State, UMass-Amherst, Purdue, Rutgers, UT-Austin, Maryland-College Park, Georgia Tech, UIUC, Penn State, and several UC campuses (Davis, Santa Barbara, Irvine, Berkeley, LA).</p>
<p>On the private side aside from some of the Ivy League and equivalent (Stanford, MIT, Caltech), there’s Carnegie Mellon, Rice, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Wash U, Boston U, RPI, University of Rochester, Harvey Mudd, Vanderbilt, Northeastern, Syracuse, Case Western, WPI, and Drexel.</p>
<p>You should be aware that the top schools (Ivies + Stanford, MIT, Caltech, and probably also CMU, Rice, Duke, JHU, and Northwestern) largely take transfer students from equivalent level schools who have done extremely well. It’s more difficult to transfer into these than it is to get in as a freshman applicant. Not only do you need to have good grades, you also need to show that you are involved on campus and would bring something extra to the campus; you also have to justify why you are leaving your current campus and why you would fit in at [insert new school here].</p>
<p>You may want to look into Simmons College.</p>
<p>Virginia Tech and Temple are excellent options. American, University of Miami, Syracuse, Northeastern, Stevens Institute, and Pace are possible for you if money is not an object. Pitt, University of Maryland, Rutgers, some SUNY campuses, and UConn are also good choices.</p>
<p>Thank you @woogzmama @ItsJustSchool @juillet @Sdgal2 and @intparent for the information. I did know that I wrote my name but thank you for helping me remove it </p>
