[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son got off Cornell wait list last week.  Surprised in that deposits are not due yet.  Cornell vs VT (in state) comp sci anyone?  [/quote]

Well that's a big financial difference... but Cornell CS is top notch, and very, very rigorous.  If he has ambitions to work for one of the big guys out of college this is a great place to start.

However a CS degree from a fine school like VT will be all that is needed.  It's really about where he will thrive and what you can afford.

And congrats. You should rest comfortably knowing either choice you make will be the right one![/quote]

Come Sci at VT is in the Engr school.
There are 2 CS tracks at Cornell - one in Engr and other in arts/sciences school, where student has options for more humanities classes and double major or minors. Employers don’t really care, as the major CS classes are the same. Grads still get recruited from top firms. Out of 300 CS grads they place 10 each at the 5 -6 coveted firms [/quote]
