<p>I got admission to M.Comp at Cornell and MCS(Professional) at Urbana. The latter is non-thesis based. I am from India and bit confused as to where to head to. I am not particularly interested in research and looking for a good placement after graduation. At Urbana, is the Professional MCS program any less merited than MS in CS program. How well do they compare with M.Comp at Cornell. The rankings place them on equal footing, but does Cornell carry that extra recognition. How well are they recognised by potential employers.</p>
