<p>Thanks kwu and Math4breakfast for your replies.</p>
<p>Math4breakfast:
The accomplishment of the robotics department at WPI is pretty impressive.</p>
<p>Do you have any insight on the computer science programs at UMass Amherst or WPI?</p>
<p>It didn’t seem to me that you were comparing the computer science programs at either school, but rather other departments, or the admissions office. Also, the graph of students from my school who were accepted to each school in the last 5 years (from our school’s Naviance site) had around the same number of sub 3.0 GPA students accepted.</p>
<p>Since their acceptance standards are pretty similar for in-state residents, I think my preference would be best based on the quality of the schools’ departments which I will be going into.</p>
<p>Their courses seem fairly similar:
