[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umd in state vs  full pay at a top 5 cs school which would you choose ?[/quote]

Full pay top 5 CS school.  It sounds like an amazing experience and arguably it is healthy to get away from home/out of state.

But what is interesting to me is how many public schools are in the top half of this list.

So many of these private schools (University of Rochester, Case Western, etc.) are ranked lower in this list than public schools (University of Wisconsin, Washington, Minnesota) and they cost more and are more difficult to get into.  Why pay more and work harder in high school to get into a school that isn't ranked as high?  Are the dorms really that much nicer?  The food better?   Maybe the connections are netter and more likely to get a great job?  I'm curious how these schools compare for salary for CS grads 5 years post graduation.  Maybe that's the draw?

The CS programs within these state schools are way more difficult to get into compared to the private schools you listed, some with sub-5% admit rates for OOS kids.[/quote]
