My son got admitted to CMU’s SCS, Columbia’s SEAS, and Cornell’s School of Engineering. He wants to study computer science and possibly to minor in business. We can’t decide between CMU as one of the top computer science schools vs Ivy League prestige, name recognition, and future opportunities. Would you give up on Columbia/Cornell selectivity to attend CMU?
