Any recent experience and / or feedback on the programs at GMU specifically for this major. Undergrad and graduate? Thanks.

Is the kid good at math or not?

Bottom line. In any school.

Excellent program. My cousin is a recent grad and had a very good job offer over a year before he graduated. He continues to move to higher/better jobs but he started well to begin with - he highly recommends the school/program.

+1. Great options for either work or grad school after finishing one’s BSCompE.

wonderful program that punches significantly above its weight, both in terms of quality of instruction and job placement. Not quite at the UVA or VaTech level, but i would definitely consider it a peer of UMD at this time - good luck!

? UMD is higher ranked than UVA or VA tech or GMU for CS.

What are you smoking? Or you just hate UMD?

I hear it’s almost impossible to get into UMD grad programs for CS. Is this true. ?

It's much easier to get internship during the year when you can easily drive to Tysons/Reston/Dulles than it is in Charlottesville or Blacksburg

I think GMU is a really good school for those areas, as well as a bargain for in-state. The only problem with GMU is that kids in northern, VA do not want to go there b/c it is too close and b/c they have a high acceptance rate (so they do not consider it selective enough). So the school kind of has a stigma (fair/unfair) amongst high schools students in NOVA. However, the things that matter, like the program, cost and career placement rates, are excellent.
