I am currently in high school, and plan to attend grad school after completing my undergrad in computer science/engineering. However, I don’t know the best approach to get into a really good computer science grad school (ex. Stanford, MIT, Ga Tech, UMich, UC Berkely, CMU). Should I aim for a medium-sized state school which gives a lot of aid to talented OOS state students, is academically challenging but not as tortuous as other schools, and allows me to finish my undergrad one or two years faster? Or should I aim for a really competitive ivy/ elite private/ public ivy?
