For Computer Science, at What Point is it Advisable to Consider Cost or Prestige?

@Peruna1998, Most do not realize what a heavy lift this is at most universities for engineering/CS. They make assumptions about GPAs based on the rampant grade inflation in high school. I don’t know how strictly A&M grades, but the average graduating GPA at my son’s alma mater for his major was 2.7. It is a highly selective program. Nearly everyone who gets in has a 4.0 or close in HS. I certainly would not want to have to make a 3.75 just to move forward!
