Should I go to a cheaper college with fewer opportunities or shell out more for a school loaded with opportunities?
#UC Berkeley M.E.T vs. Cornell Engineering vs. Johns Hopkins BME

coming from a berk biased person berk isn't worth the extra 40k a year!
idt it'd make you 160k extra

It's MET though... the opportunities are insane based on what I've seen

if you want to like permanently stay west coast it'll b good fs esp silicon valley
dont know much ab where health startups are but go wherever it's better for that if it's your goal

honestly if you're truly leaning towards it (it sounds like that at least) and you can afford it/your family is willing to and it'd make you happiest you should 100% go to berk

you rlly can't make a wrong choice here between these 3 schools!
glad shard
pseudo jewel
Middle of nowhere =/= no opportunities
Links to cornell tech and weill med plus heavy additions to our bme program since its new and being accredited now is a lot in itself
It doesnt have to be like a random company next door to have opportunities
Id go jhu
Cuz cheap and best but it is rigorous and hard and competitive

I agree ^ ,MET is also below 1% acceptance rate so huge congratulations
iron tinsel
JHU
imo
however you cant really go wrong with cornell either
so i say visit and decide which u like best
iron tinsel
if u wanna do CS then berkeley
this is terrible advice for 160k more a year
cornell cs is just as good
choose between jhu and cornell, cal ain't worth you're getting a shittier education for double the price

How is it a shittier education though? Berk EECS is ranked #1 in nation

Nah debt is inevitable regardless of the school I go to atp
Just curious - do you know much about MET?
Seeing if the ROI is high enough
@ancient lotus - any advice?
quaint kernel
All good choices
If you think you'll make the money back then UC Berk
if you're worried about money, JHU

the difference between the schools is not big enough to justify the extra tuition at berk
and in the long run the prestige doesn't help all that much
as long as ur motivated ull find excellent opportunities in the other two

My only concern is that Berk has opportunites that I can't find at these other schools
Esp when it comes to entrepreneurship

Being 30 mins away from Silicon Valley + guaranteed internship --> job pipeline seems insane - is it worth the extra tuition?

Go with MET. Unfortunately JHU and Cornell are tiers below MET for your interests. Berkeley is tied #1 CS with Stanford snd MIT and MET will set you up good with biotech. The only competitors to MET IMO are Stanford, MIT, M&T depending on your personal and professional interests. If anything else, go MET
