Match/Chance Me: CS Student wanting feedback and suggestions [NC resident, 3.75 UW, 36 ACT for CS or Math, <$50k]

If your family qualifies for enough fin aid to bring the cost down to 50K a year, then 200K means something to you and your family.

Be sensible. Take the full ride at Alabama. You will have many academic and intellectual peers there because they’re offering tons of merit money. Get a masters from some outstanding institution that your employer pays for, and then you’d be just as pedigreed as anyone else. Comp Sci hiring isn’t done through the WASPy, old boys eating club network. You don’t need to pay for a prestigious name for comp sci.
