The trend at public schools seems to be crowded major and classes tough to get into

I am sure it’s not the case at ALL schools. UMD is a fantastic school (and my DS22 will be applying there as well, but it’s CS department is balooning from what I am reading)

NYU is a fantastic school (I F Y O U C A N A F F O R D I T), their engineering dept and CS major are very strong. Can’t beat proximity to employers as well.

I’d have picked NYU out of the OP’s choices. Only reason my DS’22 won’t be applying there is that we want him out of NYC (as we live there) for at least 4 years. And maybe have a more traditional campus-college-experience.
