<p>Why are you disregarding Duke and Penn so quickly? My freshman roommate was a Computer Science major at Duke and he got a job working at Cisco as a Software Engineer. He told me that the PhD and job placement was phenominal and there are Comp Sci majors from my graduating class going to Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and Harvard for their PhDs. As far as job placement goes, it runs the gamut: traditional engineering jobs (Cisco, Clark Construction, GE, Northrop Grumman, etc.), management consulting jobs (BCG, Bain, McKinsey, Deloitte, etc.), exciting tech companies (Google, Twitter, Funzio, Zynga, etc.), sales and trading as well as investment banking (JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Barclays, etc.).</p>
<p>I can’t speak to Philly but of all the places you got accepted to, Duke is located in the most high-profile area for tech companies, research organizations, etc. (The Research Triangle). Duke is great about letting you double major to so you can study Computer Science and Economics or Computer Science and Math or Computer Science and Biology.</p>
