[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a Senior in our house who is making decisions soon as well. How we’ve prioritized decisions (also for engineering, but not CS): 1) Cost 2) Program Strength (size, prestige, career outcomes) 3) Quality of life (amenities like culture, food, nearby cities) [/quote] Hi PP. I’d add program characteristics to 2). Some schools weed kids out more than others. Direct admit doesn’t always mean the same thing. Some have more entrenched coop programs than others.... there are a ton of differences. Go on like to each school’s website and read the information for continuing students (things like how to declare a major, can I study abroad, career fair...). Stop looking at the admissions info because that is all sales. The schools are surprisingly different, so due diligence is in order before spending the money. Good luck and congrats to your kid! We were in your shoes a year ago.[/quote]
