<p>Something that companies like Microsoft,Apple,Google,Sun,Oracle,HP,Dell,Intel,AMD,Cisco,Ebay,Amazon,Nvidia…etc.
recruit heavily out of and donate $$$ to.
Also I like high-tech the more high-tech/modern the campus the better</p>
<p>Also nothing that is too hard to get into like MIT,Caltech,UCB…and the killer for everyone that want to putbecause is it a complete match…STANFORD</p>
<p>San Jose State? CMU? UIUC?</p>
<p>I know CMU is SUPER competitive in CompSci, but I’d love to go there?</p>
<p>How competitive is SJS or UIUC for OOS?</p>
<p>SJSU, not really. I’m not sure about UIUC–I’d guess that it’s competitive, but not terribly competitive.</p>
<p>Try Georgia Tech, U of Washington, U of Texas-Austin.</p>
<p>How competative are they for OOS?</p>
<p>any more responses></p>
<p>How about RPI? The guy who created Guitar Hero is an RPI alum.</p>
<p>don’t know about UW, but UT is very difficult out of state since they have very few spots for out of staters due to the 10% rule, gatech, however isn’t that difficult to get into OOS,(although difficulty is relative)</p>
<p>Thanks, every post helps.</p>
<p>Are all those colleges heavily recruited out of?</p>
<p>UDub is heavily recruited by M$, Boeing, Intel.
UIUC Intel
Not sure about the others.</p>
<p>Isn’t UW extremely competitive to those in state?</p>
<p>^^ No. Stats below
</p>
<p>My GPA is a bit low and not by CC standards…I got a D and Bs, my Freshmen year and it killed it…A combonation off being new to the school system and having bad teacher who graded like **** because they were leaving the school.
But there is an upward trend.
My SATs should be very strong…I got the best PSATs scores in all my classes(which are AP and Honors)</p>
<p>But assuming I got a 4.0 my junior and senior year…We are looking a 3.4-3.6 unweighted GPA.
I mean assuming a school doesn’t count freshmen GPA a la Stanford, I could have a 3.6-3.75 unweighted
Weighted wise, my school kills it because they add .33 for a Honors or AP class compared to the normal 1.0.</p>
<p>I should do great of the SATs…I got the best PSATs scores in all my classes(which are AP and Honors)</p>
<p>The thing is I am real smart kid, one of the smartest in the town/state, but I don’t want to to got to some **** college because I hate high school and I live in a crappy state.</p>
<p>Is that 3.75 complete unweighted? as it seems much higher than the average SAT score.</p>
<p>A lot of those companies you stated recruit from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo if you look at their graduate report for computer science. Also its not too difficult to get in.</p>
<p>I’d love to go to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, but my GPA BLOWS and I am OOS.</p>
