<p>Hi here are my stats, what are some schools that I could get a strong computer science degree at</p>
<p>GPA ~ 3.2
SAT - M(700) R(660) W(610)
Cost is a large factor (Though dont let this be the only thing you consider)
The rest of my transcripts (EC’s, essay, rec’s) are SOLID.</p>
<p>I’m interested in a school with a relatively large party scene and one with well…not an 8:1 male to female ratio</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Also no LACs or tiny colleges please</p>
<p>University of Washington
RPI (ratio here again sorry :()
Georgia Tech ( not too sure about the ratio here though…)
WPI
Purdue</p>
<p>Let me see if I can find the CompSci rankings for you~</p>
<p>The thing is that a bit of these techy schools that have strong CS programs also have skewed ratios…</p>
<p>yeah i noticed haha thanks for the list, 2 of those are already on my current list (Washington and Purdue) ((notice the other 3 are nerdy schools with like 80% men :D))</p>
<p>1) Cost is a factor</p>
<p>2) Need a school with a large party scene</p>
<p>Bingo! Your in state Flagship university!</p>
<p>also need an academically strong school in comp sci :D</p>
<p>I dont’ know if going to a school just for high academic strength in comp sci is a factor to consider. I mean its a good to consider but are you sure computer sci is what you really really REALLY desire to study?</p>
<p>Oh and depending on where you live, if you live in Indiana, you will benefit from Purdue’s In state tuition but other wise you’re going to have to pay 3 times the tuition unless you have a reason to become a resident.</p>
<p>The ratio in CS will always be bad, no matter where you go.</p>
<p>im not worried about the program though im worried about the school as a wholez</p>
<p>and @ firecube : yes. trust me.
so what schools should i look at</p>

<p>Wow, KyleDavid, you are right. Stanford is at the top. CMU isn’t. :-p</p>

<p>Remember: This ranking is for graduate schools.</p>
<p>ive seen this list already, ive seen a lot of lists actually - heres my current list … im not sure what schools i should add or remove because my stats are a little iffy</p>
<pre><code>* Indiana U Blooming
<p>also possibly arizona state</p>
<p>add Case Western, RPI</p>
<p>mrego, she said she wants to go to a school with large party scene and good male/female ratio.</p>
<p>Add University of Illinois though i’m not sure what GPA they required. You can try to get in as an undecided and raise your gpa to get in perhaps??</p>
<p>im a dude >.<
I dont think theres any way i can get into UIllinois their engineering program is as competitive as most of the ivies. yeah i thought about about to Ullinois under there math/compsci program which wasnt in their engineering department and then try and transfer in…i dont think its the best idea, i think going to the best college that i can for 2 years under comp sci and trying to transfer out if i dont like it would be better but definitely thanks for the great ideas; definitely not discouraging it :D</p>
<p>Arizona State University
Indiana U Blooming
Purdue U
U Arizona
U Maryland Coll Park
U Mass Amherst
U Minn Twin Cities
U Washington
U Wis Madison</p>
<p>this is my current list…agree/disagree with it? :X</p>
<p>I don’t know about party scenes, but M:F ratio is good:
Rochester? Rutgers? Syracuse? Miami U (Oxford, OH)? Union College (NY)? U Dayton? U Cincinnati?</p>
