REA Application Restriction?

[gravitas2]

@Tushar1010. I have read your compelling profile posted in the past. Since you are an Indian international seriously interested in applying to Stanford REA to study computer science and you don’t require financial aid…I would strongly recommend applying early REA to Stanford (to have the best “shot”) and strategically apply to as many of the great state flagships EARLY that have outstanding CS programs like UCBerkeley (UC schools technically don’t have an early program but they require all applicants to submit by Nov. 30), Illinois, Washington, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Texas, Maryland…

…the state flagships listed are top programs in CS/engineering that are far far better than most private schools in the country…so you won’t go wrong. And, if you really wanted to go to a school in California or near Silicon Valley to be near jobs/internships there are other options to consider…
