Case


Pitt is rated 54 in CS vs. 63 for Case. RPI is #55.

All great options, but if you are going for a reach...why those? Wisconsin fits the bill at #17.

I place a ton of value on location so Pitt is just a really good option IMO. So much start-up activity in AI and other bleeding-edge industries (yes, CMU spinning off a ton, but they are hiring Pitt grads) so opportunities for internships during the school year because you are just down the street.

Any suggestions for other schools? Thanks!



I'd add Winconsin-Madison as a reach.

I’m not sure what kind of stats you need for IUPUI (not a CS household) but I’ve heard great things.

Washington is basically impossible to get into OOS for CS. They recently decided to accept only 50 kids per year OOS for CS (and 1150 in-state). Looks like many states are giving priority to in-state and making it nearly impossible for OOS.

I think he'll love Pitt, based on your description.

Location is not too desirable but RPI is a solid school for CS and Tech.
