[quote=Anonymous]Went to Berkeley, although did not major in CS. I would recommend Harvard. Berkeley's CS program is incredible. It really truly is. That said, it is also extremely demanding. A lot of people also want to major in CS, so there are cut offs to get into the program. Harvard's CS program isn't as well regarded, but it gives you more options if CS doesn't work out. There is no way of knowing for sure that your HS senior wants to make a lifetime of CS. And its not like the employment prospects of a Harvard CS major are substantially worse than someone from Berkeley. This is like trying to split hairs between a 1560 SAT or a 1580, or living in McLean vs NW DC or N Arlington. All great options. So in this case go with the one that offers better fall back options.[/quote]
