[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid intends to major in something common (English, [b]Computer Science,[/b] Biology, Business, Engineering) then go for the [b]best known school possible.[/b] If your kid intends to major in something less common (marine biology, actuarial science, bio-ceramics) then the school rank doesn't matter at all. People in those fields know where the better programs actually are[/quote]
Money being no object, not sure I'd pick Brown, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia or Penn over Illinois for CS.[/quote]
That would be a huge mistake considering those schools are known start-up/tech factories with funding opportunities on campus for undergraduates. CS is a bubble that has already started to burst; the “name” schools are the ones getting grads hired. Two of the schools on that list have all of engineering including CS with average starting salaries above 110. The others are close behind. Only 2% unhired for 2024. Those three are close to MIT and stanford for what they offer engineers. [/quote]
