CMU SCS, Caltech, or Columbia SEAS

[theloniusmonk]

If it’s big tech company, CMU is the way to go, Cal Tech second, Columbia third, a distant third actually. I’m in silicon valley familiar with hiring decisions and colleges that companies recruit from and CMU is really even significantly ahead of Cal Tech. If money is the same, go with CMU. In terms of CS prestige, it’s them, Stanford and MIT as top-3 in any order, followed by Berkeley and Michigan.
