Arizona State University has a good computer program and has lower admission requirements because they have a lot of space available. If you aren’t MIT, CalTech, UC Berkeley, or any other elite colleges, it really doesn’t matter where you attend. We know a very smart person who aces tests and the SAT and he said UCB CS was very challenging. While those elite colleges may prepare better and the graduates will have job offers straight out of college, you may have to work some lower level coding job before moving on, you will need work experience. There are tests that CS employers have their applicants take prior to interviews, and books for studying them. The employers want to see what you know, so CS is more about the person than the college. Not everyone is graduating from the elite CS colleges. Best wishes.
