楼主 (文学城)

An ABC girl from nowhere who wants to be a CS nerd

Accepted:

1. Own state University Honors College, need to pay 25K

2. RPI, need to pay 40k

3. Northeastern Honors College, need to pay 40K (she told me that the school will offer $6K to cover traveling related cost when study abroad)

4. Boston University, need to pay the full price - 70K+

5. NYU Presidential Honors, need to pay the full price - 70K+ (doesnt want to do business)

Waitlisted:

GA tech, UCB - both are out of state so need to pay the full price I suspect.

Which school do you guys recommend? If she gets one of the waitlists should she consider it?

Thanks everyone for your comments/recommendation!!!

不知道你们州立怎样,我觉得RPI挺好的,本州最好的高中(全国前5)的最聪明的学生去了RPI,他本来能去M/S这类的,但是不屑搞那

些虚头巴脑的EC

学CS的话,州大honor吧?除非GT 或者UCB 可以上。

完全取决于一是哪里,怀着对蒙大拿人民的尊重,我觉得蒙大拿州大肯定不如比如u michigan对不对。。。

在哪个州?如果本州大还可以的话就本州大吧

鉴于目前的疫情发展趋势,如果每年都有爆发期的话,离家近就是很大的加分

Problem is that she said RPI has 70% boys

then I told her that she would have more chances of getting a nice BF

去3,这个现在好像如日中天呢。

Rutgers - she said it's a party school

嗯,有为了它的coop去的,帮学生找实习

问题如何证明他是最聪明的?

x
xuhuiqu
not only that. That also means many homework helpers available

anywhere anytime.

P
Pinetreeinus
Some folks said that

they did something tricky to bring up their rankings

加州阳光123
哈哈,照你这么说,那

BU, NE 都是party school, 那就去RPI 吧,曾经能和MIT比肩 :)

这都不满足。。。足够好了。。。
加州阳光123
Agree

你忘了你以前说的?

I heard RPI offers Co-op programs as well

good to know. Thanks. RPI or state university

哈哈哈,我的观点依旧 LOL

Not a lot

假如你说想要做nerd的话,最好的办法难道不是和70%的nerd一起混吗

工科学校本来都这样。就算普通大学里的工程学院也这样

您选Rutgers,然后骑驴找马,等waitlist。GaTech与UCB任一off,弃驴骑马!

She visited NE and kind of likes it

Rutgers足够好了。如果不差钱,NEU就业前景会不错,在BOSTON越来越popular。RPI可能是最challengin
P
Pinetreeinus
I agreed but she doesn't like going to 州大
P
Pinetreeinus
Yes I agree :)

实话实说,去M不需要搞虚头巴脑的EC,需要的是实力

说明你们州最好的高中(全国前5)的最聪明的那个学生还不够聪明

P

Haha, good idea! but...

I think chances of getting the horse is very small

CS nerd goes Boston U

高中生喜欢NEU的不少,有原因的。NEU CS在本地名声不错的。40K如果包括生活费的话值得去

孩子是否在意学校地理位置?有的喜欢大城市,方便、热闹;有的喜欢偏远小城,安适、清静。

BU is not for nerd at all:) RPI is for CS nerd
飞黎
他们学校所有上大腾的同学一致认为他最聪明,他去了RPI就是set the curve

For 15K/yr difference with Rutgers, NEU is the best bet

RPI is no longer as good as it used to be, especially reputation.

BU/NYU for 70k+/yr, probably not worth it.

40K NEU vs 25K Rutgers - NEU could be a better value.

Boston is arguably one of the best (if not the best) towns in the world to attend college.

NEU overall student profile is now stronger than that of BU and still rising.

Location, unique co-op programs, rising rep, pretty strong student body, reasonable cost - all these favor NEU.

BU是上不了腾校的富二代的学校

那不是BC嗎?
加州阳光123
BU 不是party 学校吗?

而且BU 小留多

白兔妈
你搞反了,BC比BU好太多。
有言
恭喜恭喜!-:)

記得BC是比較多富人去的學校啊?

不是說哪個比較好

l

Not totally true. NEU还真是越办越好,至少在BOSTON本地,她的CS不容易进了。这已不是过去老留印象中的N

BU 和 USC 都有类似的名声
白兔妈
去的目的不一样

去BC是去读书,去BU是去玩的,呵呵。

家有两顽童
你觉得你家女儿比那个男孩更聪明才能被M 录取?如果在网上这么久了,还有这种认识,不觉得你有多聪明。

Rutgers不太受州内牛娃待见。这里高中每年都有一批放弃它的full ride去私校

RPI是哪家?我会选1,离家近有特别大的优势。以后你娃就知道了。

NEU is the best

第一位于波士顿 高校多,生活丰富;第二,这个college 资源丰富,学生在校内就有无数机会;第三,可以做两到三个coop,进FLAG很容易。第四,给奖学金,跟家庭收入无关。

东北在波士顿哪里?离BU近吗?近的话,选东北;不近的话,去BU。

刚来时听人说台湾家长愿意女孩去BU上学,离M和H近,便于交男朋友。我觉得东北花费小,有co-op, 是个优势。

Very true. although I don't actually get it. She even once said
P
Pinetreeinus
Thanks for all for your kind responses thus far. She wants UCB t

she gets UCB we will let her go. However, I heard that UCB is pretty tough for CS. Is that true?

P
Pinetreeinus
Yes it's. She really hopes to get UCB because its CS ranking is

How so? Gender rebalance? :)

Haha, you made her feels better :) Thanks!

We visited BC, as pretty as Yale, but

she didnt apply

P

What is USC?
P

45K is the final cost, she got about 30k scholarship award
