It just feels weird man. Everyone I know gets into umass, and plenty of people for cs. And it’s not like I’m getting a crazy scholarship either, people with way worse grades and scores got in based on my school scatterplot. I guess that doesn’t really tell how good the school is, maybe I just need to be convinced it doesn’t matter. But you are definitely right about how I am biased against umass.
But I also know some umass amherst cs people that say while the graduate program is top tier, there isnt much focus on undergraduate and that there isn’t a lot of breadth. Apparently most people dont even take machine learning classes in undergraduate, while at gatech theres a whole AI thread.
Honestly, you definitely know way more about this stuff than I do, so maybe you can help me change my biases. I want to make a wise decision, not one based on what others will think or a desire for a change of scenery.
Thank you!
