Great choice.
Good luck.

Why? There’s nothing to indicate he would be accepted based on his statistics. He was advised not to bother.

I watched The Science Fair 2022 and a kid from small town Florida won the whole thing. $75,000 reward and MIT accepted him. His father was an air conditioner repairman and got him started on rebuilding things. His science project was a project that explored high-efficiency alternatives to induction motors. Those are the MIT types.

MIT take around 1,100 freshman each year.

They have about 10% international students.

So about 1,000 spots open for US residents.

So let’s say only the valedictorian’s of every high school apply. Less than 5% would get in.

Teach your kids to aim high, but be realistic with them about their chances.

Look should be luck!

Well, ED2 to Northeastern for CS/Data Science. Wish us look.

Neighbor's son, really, really smart and nice kid, goes to Northeastern. He's not a science major but business. He had an internship locally so came back to live with his parents while he worked, Was a hoot seeing him going off to work in the morning in a suit since my recollection of him is him riding his bike around the neighborhood with his friends as a kid.

All are good. I have one daughter at BC in business school and one at Northeastern in engineering.

I would choose Northeastern for CS for sure. (In addition to academics and coop, the food, study spaces, etc. are also very good).

BU for CS? Since when?? Never heard of this. Cite please??

NP...never heard of BU offering CS? I've seen the program top 75 in multiple rankings. School just completed construction of a MONSTER data science/computing building.

Exactly. That is what makes this OP flat out FRAUDULENT.

It just opened in 2022 - it is not exactly established.

NP. BU had a CS program long before the new building opened...

But historically, BU has not been known for their CS.

The school may not be in the top 10-30 for computer science and is known for excelling in other fields, but its CS program has been consistently strong. Historically, they have ranked between 30th and 60th, and they have successfully placed students in IT companies.

With the addition of this new building, I believe the program will continue to thrive in the coming years.

Right, you can't go wrong with BU at all if you like other factors about BU and the vibe.
If you really like the BC campus and such, no particular interest in an area, and just want a CS degree, you can't go wrong with BC as well.
However, again NU would be the winner overall in general.

We know what you believe.

Since CS is so dominant now, BU is smart to start prioritizing it. They've recently hired some more CS faculty; not replacements, but adds.

Northeastern of course has been more active with CS. CS interdisciplinary studies have been around for a while for so many majors, including business, health, even some humanities. Kind of the brilliant, forward- thinking preparation of what the world will be, not what it is.

BC is trying. They have the money to provide a niche in CS. They are growing it.

I know this sounds trite, but you can't go wrong with any of the three.
