[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as you are aware that OOS UC system students are full pay only.

If you are OK paying 80K per year in tuition, I don't see why $80 in application fee would trigger a discussion
My high stats student did not apply to UC's for that reason
It was UMD, Ivies, or bust :-)[/quote]
Same for my high stats kid.

Given the price of college they too felt other than ivy the rest weren't worth the cost.  And they're a cs major

Interesting.

The Ivies are not particularly known for Comp Sci.

UMD Comp Sci is good, particularly in Cyber Security. If you are from MD and can get in it is a decent option.

I would think some of the top Comp Sci programs (not Ivies) may help you land a better job unless Cyber Security is really your thing.

Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, University of Illinois … (Although you have to be pretty smart to do well at these places.)

If you don’t get into UMD, there are plenty of other schools that will give you a comp sci degree, many of which are more expensive for an MD resident.[/quote]

Brown University computer science bachelor's degree graduates earn $271,601 vs. $144,240 for UMD according to College Scorecard data.   So many on DCUM like to perpetuate this myth of Ivy students majoring in nothing but gender studies and French lit.[/quote]

Well I think DCUM is full of bitter people who like to perpetuate a lot of things that are not true.[/quote]
