Hello everyone,
Finished getting my college results, but I need help on deciding where to go. My options and prices are below:
RPI 45k (really liking the school, but not sure if worth $$$, also not sure if able to tour$
UCSC 35k
UW 50k (not admitted directly to CS, would it still be worth it to go here and vie for a spot in their CS department? This is where my dad wants me to go, but if I can’t get into an engineering/CS major, it’s not worth it)
Purdue for CIT, 40k (not sure if worth pursuing without CS major)
SDSU w/ honors program, not sure how their CS program stacks against UC’s
Additionally, if I were to get into UC Davis/ UC Irvine, as I was waitlisted to these, would it be in my best interests to go to one of these schools? I’d like to stay in California to save money on undergraduate studies, and expect to go to grad school, as that is what my father wants.

Thanks!
