My daughter wants to go to a good school, but I think it will be pointless if they don’t have a comp sci program for her. Here are her schools:
Yale,
Cornell,
Columbia,
Duke,
UPenn,
Brown,
Dartmouth,
UChicago
Do all of these let you take comp sci as a major? I went looking and they all have “computer science departments” but I’m not entirely sure if they offer CS as a major. (I apologize for lacking the “google” skills, but I just can’t keep up with this generation).
Hopefully she has matches and safeties too.
Is this a serious post? Have you even tried going to the websites and look at the majors offered?
Google “name of school list of majors”.
@mundanespectacle virtually all respected US universities have a CS program. Whether it is a top CS program is for you (or your daughter) to look up.
Maybe your daughter can look at potential CS schools herself? I’m sure her google skills will not be lacking. And please make sure she has safeties/matches in mind as well.
OMG this is like the least amount of research done for a question on CC evah.
Go to the library and use books if you can’t google.
Fiske Guide to Colleges or others.
Those colleges are very very unlikely for her…even if she has a 4.0/1600 SAT.
Use the Supermatch tool on the left.
Before you do, think about:
GPA
SAT/ACT scores
Net Cost - how much can you afford?
Number of Undergraduates - big school, small school?
Faculty Student Ratio
%of students that live on campus
How big is the department for your major? If you are majoring in something that only has a couple of professors, that does not bode well.
Housing- do they offer all 4 years? freshman only?
Urban/rural/suburban
Is this a commuter school? (do students go home on weekends)
Surrounding area - what is the nearby town/amenities like?
Transportation - how would you get home
AP Credits - can you get credit for AP tests you have taken
Male/Female ration
Greek life - what % of students are in greek life
Parking
Diversity
Safety
Sports
Jobs - what happens to seniors after they graduate
Internships - depending on your major, is it easy to get internships?
…and whatever makes sense for you
