I am a Stanford senior in CS. I chose Stanford over MIT for its humanities balance.

I have a ton of friends who did the MS&E track. Its awesome. You can make it hard or easy but its definitely interesting and flexible.

If you are interesting in entrepreneurship and technology from a business and management perspective, come here. You are in the heart of the Valley next to all the job opportunities. It is the mecca of entrepreneurship.

On a more personal note, I love Stanford. Its been a very challenging four years emotionally but I expect it is that way at most schools. If you can, visit both schools, think about which you just felt awesome about when you were on campus, go with your gut and don’t have regrets.
