<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I was wondering about the CS program at WFU and if it was comparable (in prestige and rigor) to UCSB's courses.</p>
<p>I'm currently on the waitlist, but I have committed to UCSB for CE. Thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I don’t know about the actual programs but I am pretty familiar with schools. Yes, UCSB is in ranked in the country’s Top 10 Public Schools. But to me, it is sooooo different from WFU. Public school v private school. Large classes v small classes. No sports v sports program. Beachside California school v gated suburban southern/east coast school. Mild Greek System v Large Greek System. 20,000 kids v 5,000 kids. </p>
<p>They are both amazing schools. Both prestigious. If you really want to go to WFU, I’d get a letter sent to their Admissions Director ASAP stating why you are a good fit and what you will bring to the community. Is there anything new since you applied that you can put in a letter? It’s worth a try, although I everyone I know at UCSB loves it!</p>
<p>Sorry to hop on this question, but I am also waitlisted and I sent a letter to my specific admissions officer but should I have sent it to the overall admissions director also (Allman?)?</p>
<p>Hopeful – I think a letter to your own region’s admissions officer is fine. Good luck!</p>
