What is a good CompSci college?

Nightmarerec0n · 07-03-2008, 05:57 AM

Something that companies like Microsoft,Apple,Google,Sun,Oracle,HP,Dell,Intel,AM D,Cisco,Ebay,Amazon,Nvidia...etc.
recruit heavily out of and donate $$$ to.
Also I like high-tech the more high-tech/modern the campus the better

Also nothing that is too hard to get into like MIT,Caltech,UCB....and the killer for everyone that want to putbecause is it a complete match....STANFORD

San Jose State? CMU? UIUC?

I know CMU is SUPER competitive in CompSci, but I'd love to go there?

How competitive is SJS or UIUC for OOS?

SJSU, not really. I'm not sure about UIUC--I'd guess that it's competitive, but not terribly competitive.

Try Georgia Tech, U of Washington, U of Texas-Austin.

How about RPI? The guy who created Guitar Hero is an RPI alum.

don't know about UW, but UT is very difficult out of state since they have very few spots for out of staters due to the 10% rule, gatech, however isn't that difficult to get into OOS,(although difficulty is relative)

UDub is heavily recruited by M$, Boeing, Intel.
UIUC Intel
Not sure about the others.

Isn't UW extremely competitive to those in state?

^^ No. Stats below

Quote:

the average high school GPA of incoming freshmen was 3.75, and the average SAT (math and critical reading) score was 1,251.

My GPA is a bit low and not by CC standards....I got a D and Bs, my Freshmen year and it killed it....A combonation off being new to the school system and having bad teacher who graded like **** because they were leaving the school.
But there is an upward trend.
My SATs should be very strong...I got the best PSATs scores in all my classes(which are AP and Honors)
