<p>My ECs are strong, no extreme leadership positions but I play allot of sports, have a few jobs and do mock trial.</p>

<p>Are you an int’l?</p>

<p>If not, what is your home state?</p>

<p>What is your budget? How much will your parents spend?</p>

<p>What schools are on your current list?</p>

<p>MA, price not an influential variable, and now I want to go to umich UCLA USC tufts or lehigh just not sure if I can get in.</p>

4

<p>Did you get your app into UCLA?</p>

<p>Are you saying that your parents will pay whatever costs are at any school?</p>

<p>Match schools would be like: Purdue, Ohio State, Penn State, Santa Clara</p>

<p><<<<
Yes price is not an influential factor for the most part</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>^^^
What does this mean? Does this mean that you intend to borrow whatever it takes to cover any unfunded costs?</p>

<p>No we have the money for whatever school</p>

<p>U of Washington-Seattle is dying to have more full-pay out-of-state students. Computer Engineering program is said to be top notch. Many high tech employers are just a few miles from campus; Microsoft, Nintendo, Boeing, Cray Computer, Amazon and lots of small start ups which hire Computer Engineering majors. Intel is just down the road near Portland, Oregon (about 190 miles).</p>

<p>Any idea roughly what the program is ranked? </p>

<p>might want to rethink that major. </p>

<p>Jobs in the software field are booming. Seems like every week a couple of 25-year-old kids are selling their company for tens of millions of dollars, sometimes a lot more. Computer engineering is not exactly the same; it focuses more on the hardware side of things with some exposure to software but its typically from not much at all to not a lot (depending on what college you attend). The hardware field was hot maybe 20 years ago, but now jobs for those with a HW background are much harder to come by and the prospects nowhere near as good as those with a SW degree. </p>

<p>Many links on the web discuss the difference; first hit from google is <a href=“Undergraduate Degree Programs - UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - University at Buffalo”>Undergraduate Degree Programs - UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - University at Buffalo;

<p>@mikemac. Many schools do a combination of computer science and electrical engineering so I will receive education in both feilds, and depending on what apeals to my interests ( not what other people say is the better job) I will refine my major to that specific field.</p>

11

<p>Computer engineering actually does cover software engineering as well</p>

12

<p>Rochester Institute of Technology, Worcester polytechnic Institute, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute</p>

<p>@mattmass there are no official undergraduate department rankings that I am aware of. The universities with the best job placement are often in areas with robust industry access. Seattle would be one, but I don’t know if you can get a direct admit, CSE limits direct admits to 200 students, so don’t go if you don’t get it. There are not enough slots for everyone and you could get shut out. </p>

<p>I think you have a pretty reasonable chance at the colleges you mention but UCLA applications are closed.</p>

<p>Yea I already applied and I think my app and essays came out well</p>
