[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of the ability to advance even in the engineering and CS fields depends on one’s ability to think creatively and critically and present ideas persuasively, both verbally and in writing. The top schools really focus on these skills so a graduate may have an advantage there. Of course, you can also develop those skills at a state school if you take the right classes. I’m not sure you can develop them at a coding academy but of course a motivated student can find ways to learn almost any skill. [/quote] You can get good or bad professors at any school so your post makes no sense. No good employer is going to hire someone is a good well paying position over a coding academy. At best you can do tech support. UMD, for example is a really well regarded school. It has far better programs for CS than many elite schools. Its silly to go to Harvard for CD over UMD for cost and program. [/quote]
