Lehigh
Penn State
GATech
CU @ Boulder

<p>If you’re wondering, yes, my username is a literary allusion to To The Lighthouse</p>

3

<p>The problem is that I wasn’t wondering at all.</p>

<p>Why go Penn ED if they’re not even known for engineering?</p>

4

<p>Why’d you say engineering schools if you want to major in CS? Check out Carnegie Mellon if you like CS</p>

5

<p>My father went there and he wants me to go there. I also really like the school. Rank really doesn’t matter to me. The school itself has a good engineering program.</p>

6

<p>CS, at least to my knowledge, is considered to be an Engineering major.</p>

7

<p>I’ll probably apply there instead of Penn State or UCF</p>

8

<p>Wait a minute.</p>

<p>UPenn Biomedical Research Academy</p>

<p>Right now or last year?</p>

<p>Now I understand why you’re EDing here.</p>

<p>Umm, no…CS has different majors than engineering, carnegie Mellon has the number 1 CS school, it’s 1 department, they also have a number 6 ranked engineering school which is a whole different department. They can be a lot alike but, there are still major differences. It’s like studying physics and biology. They’re both sciences but they have differences.</p>
