People love ot overlook Dartmouth's CS, but it is a really great deparment that just got a brand new building

#

purdue is a great easier cs one

rapid rapids
#

yeah, exactly. All are pretty good. Dartmouth's definitely is

#

20ish percent

rapid rapids
#

Yale has a slightly lower admit rate, but both are pretty close to the same level of difficulty

#

like 6vs 5% or so

wind oar
#

im not sure

#

on reddit it said around 22%

#

if u're applying to an ivy league school

#

regardless of the major

#

its gonna be very competitive (very low acp rate)

rapid rapids
#

and they don't admit by major

wind oar
#

ye

#

purdue is a great school tho

#

big steal

#

not too hard to get into but its tech side is very good (engineering + cs)

#

fair point

#

tho i'd rather go to uiuc than yale for cs

#

if u go to yale, it'd be better for some kinda math stuff not cs

#

I plan on doing a business CS type route career wise so I'd pick the Ivy personally

wind oar
#

not really

#

it all depends on u

#

what u do in college/graduate ultimately determines ur future

#

(ur employment future)

#

yes being in an ivy school sorta prep u better for career in the future

#

because they provide you with internship fair internally

#

if u're in a less prestigious school, those things u just gotta find online (externally) or go around your local community and find jobs

#

depends on what you want to do after college

#

a lot of tech jobs are just merit based

#

school brand can help with quantitative finance
not sure what other fields

#

yes but not lower ranked ones (or rather not as good)

cs is probably the most popular major at brown

#

ofc all of these schools have pretty decent programs so the thing that makes brown stand out is the open curriculum and the focus on undergraduate education

#

a lot of ugrads are involved in the TA program, which also means that the cs course sites tend to be nicer-looking than usual lmao

#

here's a particularly nice one

#

plus cs15 is known for having their TAs perform skits

#

oh fine here's the operating systems course

#

no front end experts here

#

not as cute but functional

nimble iris
#

design seems fitting for an OS course!

#

are you at brown btw

hexed nacelle
#

will be next year yep

nimble iris
#

ah nice

#

Northwestern is good but not up to par with like a Cornell or Princeton for CS

#

you should apply to CMU, I think the CS class is only 200 and the undergrad population is pretty small

#

def apply to lower CS programs like Duke and Dartmouth, atleast from my research they still looked like solid options

#

are you not gonna apply to the public OOS schools

#

UMD? Georgia Tech? Purdue? UW Madison? UVA?

#

also can add like USC, NYU, and Harvey Mudd

#

for good private schools

#

i'd apply to more schools if you have the time and a fee waiver/no care for money

#

CS admissions are tough, I personally applied to i think 35 schools

#

I think 21

#

10

#

10 were targets/safeties

#

rest were reaches

#

by reach I mean like around 10 percent and below
