[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would keep UVA on the list - a solid engineering program but more options if your DC might also change mind again and want a business or other science background (not just straight Mech E).

+1, DD graduated CS last year from UVA, got 6-7 offers over 100k.  DS graduating this year with 2 offers so far and has already accepted one, both also over 100k[/quote]

Doesn’t ring true. [/quote]

Lol yeah these UVA boosters are really toeing the line when it comes to believability[/quote]

I know Harvard CS grad this year having a tough time with securing full time employment so I think uva boosters should give it a rest. [/quote]

Why would anybody go to Harvard and study CS?[/quote]

9% of graduates major in CS.  Not sure why you would ask that.

It's like going to MIT to major in history.[/quote]

The kids that go to Harvard and major in CS are not there to learn CS; they already are quite accomplished in CS.[/quote]

Can't say the same foe UVA CS majors.[/quote]

They go to UVA because their parents didn’t want to shell out the money for a better school.

Actually, this is somewhat true.  College is an investment and we want the best ROI which means going to an affordable state institution.  I'm happy with the results in that both my kids are making more than $100k with an UVA CS degree.
Not sure if their starting salary would be much higher than $110k if they had graduated from MIT or Caltech.[/quote]

MIT, Stanford, Berkeley and CMU CS grads usually make more than $160,000-$190,000 for the first year in total compensation especially for SV and finance jobs. [/quote]
