I’m a little worrisome about grad school/MBA acceptance down the line. I’ve been told, even by a professor at Alabama, that top CS grad schools will look at the prestige of your degree big time. He told me if I wanted to do grad school, UT is the right pick. What are your thoughts on this?
Also, what are your thoughts on the location differences? Austin has a booming tech economy. It only makes logical sense in my mind for all these companies and start ups to recruit from the school a mile away, not 500. Do you think this miss in job opportunities would outweigh the money I’d get?
