Excellent. I'll need to get my meals off campus often b/c the Brandeis food was subpar. Hopefully the food in NYC is good as well.Ok i live near Brandeis theres lots of good food around
Yes food in nyc is amazing lmao dont make me laughExcellent. I'll need to get my meals off campus often b/c the Brandeis food was subpar. Hopefully the food in NYC is good as well.
i heard a chipotle burrito is 10 bucks thoYes food in nyc is amazing lmao dont make me laugh
Fellow georgian here, and I don't think you need to be down on GA Tech. Of course any of the above schools could have been nice, but I've had many friends go to Tech and love it. Not to mention that it's a well regarded tech school. Some even put it third behind MIT and CalTech. Not sure about your financial situation too, but obviously GA Tech in-state (Hope Scholarship?) has a much lower sticker price than anything else you could have done too. My friends who have gone to GA Tech have had no difficulty whatsoever finding co-ops and the ones who graduated already found jobs pretty easily too. And best of all you get to continue living in Waffle House/Chick Fil A territory. You have no idea how much I miss that shit when I'm at school.rejected to berkeley, stanford, carnegie, and princeton, waitlisted to harvard for EECS
accepted to and attending georgia tech (i'm from georgia).
feels bad to be rejected, my academically my "stats" were very near perfect, but (much more importantly) conveyed that there was a real, true, breathing human being behind the wall of scores that's required for these applications. i feel very frustrated because i don't feel as if there was anything, if i could have gone back and done it over, that i could have done better. i had no opportunities to get an internship as i'd have had to live at least an hour from home and i was 16 this summer.
maybe i could have dove more into EE or CS and done some projects of my own volition. maybe i could have distilled my soul into an MS Word document and submit it for my writing supplement. i dunno. whatever it was, i have left the process feeling extremely disheartened.
Man forreal?! I'm going to UT Austin as well for a biology major :] I believe that for your Class of 2015 the requirement for automatic admittance is top 7% and then for my class of 2016 it's top 8%. Hopefully, I'll see you there frenprobably going to be going to University of Texas at Austin for biology
DTC one of my essays had stuff about how i really like the smogon doubles community
Lol how are you about to say that comp sci is a toss up?Wrong answer
Edit: if you are going engineering, Berkeley. Princeton for everything else (including comp sci, though that one is probably a toss up)
I mean, he should go wherever he wants, but undergraduate programs at Princeton are essentially universally stronger than Berkeley. If he wanted to go to Berkeley (or anywhere else) for grad school, Princeton will help him get there. But yes, Berkeley probably has stronger graduate programs in comp sci than Princeton.Lol how are you about to say that comp sci is a toss up?
Berkeley isn't in the stanford/mit/cmu undergrad triad, but it is as close as you can get. Also, Troy Bolton went to berkeley.
I think that it is important to note that, in Engineering majors especially, a big school has a lot of merit as far as employment goes. At UIUC, for example, there are more than a dozen career fairs every year... And that is just for CS/sometimes other Engineering kids. The same, I assume, holds true for places like Berkeley. Having SO many super qualified students at a super prestigous department is a goldmine for recruiters... THEY have to get on a waiting list to get a booth at career fairs because of how high-demand these kids are.
That's a pretty cool list. Makes me want to go Berkeley after I graduate for MSc or PhD even more if possible.This is big, UIUC's CS program isn't the best in the world (usanews lists it at #5), but it is significantly bigger than programs that beat it out. I'm in my first year so I haven't paid that much attention, but from what I've seen, career fairs are EXTREMELY common for CS here.
Oh no I meant undergrad actually. Just wondering where my college is ranked thereNot for usanews no. There are international versions (lots of good Chinese and British schools) but most of them (plus this one actually) are for undergrad programs. Phd's are a different ballpark
Accepted: UCSB (TAG), UCSD, UC Davisbloop
I know so many kids who transfer from Trinity.Thanks for all the advice! After reading this, I'm now heavily leaning towards Brandeis/Columbia.
For the record, I only applied to small schools b/c I felt that larger schools were not my cup of tea. I wanted to do engineering at Tufts but got rejected, so now I'm left with liberal arts engineering. Moreover, Brandeis' version of the 3-2 program requires me to do research at some point, and the school's proximity to Boston opens up a lot of internship opportunities, so getting good research done there shouldn't be too difficult. There's also 260 clubs at Brandeis, so I should be able to find one connected to engineering. And, of course, Columbia is a great engineering school (and an outstanding school in general), and I'm fairly sure that engineering is what I want to do with my life.
