So I after being on a waitlist for a while, I finally got into McGill. While I was waiting, I already put my deposit down on Umass Amherst. I was admitted into the Commonwealth Honors College for my first choice major, Computer Science. I know the school has a strong computer science program, and the financial package I received is super helpful. McGill was initially my top choice, but Amherst, especially the Commonwealth college, has grown on me a great deal. Any advice on my decision? Also how do the financial aid packages and the compsci programs compare?
