With your stats, at Univ of Alabama-Huntsville, you’d qualify for the UAH Academic Excellence OOS merit scholarship, which is $19,900/year. It will require you to have a cumulative 3.0 GPA at the end of each semester in order to renew it.
OOS total direct costs (tuition, room, board, fees) at that schools is $34,648 (this does not include travel expenses, books, personal spending money). With that scholarship, it brings the cost down to $14,748.
That school really has some excellent CS opportunities. You should also look at Univ of Alabama in Tuscaloosa as well…it has a good engineering school/CS program as well. At both schools, you’d qualify to get into their honors college as well, which will get you priority registration.
In the tech world, most employers don’t really care WHERE you get your CS degree in. Like the other poster said…they care about what you know, what you can do, what your skill set is.
The UAH dorms are all single person rooms, by the way…2 people share 1 bathroom, and 4 rooms connect to a common space/living room sort of set up.
The great AP scores you’ve already gotten will get you out of some general ed requirements.
I would highly encourage you to consider touring both schools. Or at least go explore their websites and look into some virtual tours that they might have online. Contact their admissions department and ask questions.
