硕士 is less prestigeous than college folks--- 硕士 in Columbia could come from every where-- from a regulat public school, from overseas-- it is a big mixture.
人数比其它三个大个一倍多-- this should be considered a negative thing!
Need based FA is based on income of Prior prior year
According to your statement, if your income last year is higher than the year before last year, the "prior prior year", however, it is very likely that last year's income is not factored into current FA. In theory, you apply outside scholarship this year because the need is bigger. Next year, FA will be less generous because of your higher income last year.
There is no right or wrong. If you feel passionately about subject rankings, then go with the rankings.
In long term, if the student is truely passionate about his subjects and is way above his peers on the subject, I advocate for colleges with broader liberal arts education.
康 admission independently in different colleges--- the school
has two missions: the private schools have admisison rates similar to other top ivies; the public schools have relatively higher rates but still high demanding.
有个朋友问Columbia CS 的情况，孩子今年申请大学，具体stats 不清楚，但准备申请哥大，应该stats不错。但哥大的CS比另外几个如何？谢谢！
The AO pretty much figures out what your major would be even one does not claim at the beginning---
如果要挑骨头，哥大cs硕士班人数比其它三个大一倍多，有点争夺本科资源，另外两年规定的core课程可能会让第一年暑假实习没有太多的专业准备。在宾大可能大家都是想靠Wharton。相对Dartmouth 选cs的本科学生人数相对少、cs研究生人数更是其它的十分之一，而且可以选某quarter 离开实习，也可以考虑。

你没得选择
当然哥大近水楼台名气最大申请人多
哪个学校的学生素质好去哪个。
Cornell是最差的。
疙瘩分CC和工学院。完全不同的申请。
But the poster asked about CS major here.
位置更好，本科排名更高。
应该首选康吧。lol
还有别的念想的去这两家的多
如果你只能挑一个的话，答案也很明显。
如果只是埋头读书就失去了去藤校的本意
比发过来大一百倍。
有孩子在大学念书的都会知道cs有多POPULAR.
比如在Princeton 数据库老师退休了，就没开过这门课, 当然cs有很多要学的不缺这一门课。每个学校有自己的烦恼，但瑕不掩瑜
Penn>Brown CS把握大写
其实就CS的氛围，culture和机会还是有差别的。
以前有过同样的考量，挑了各个学校的骨头来分析

明年给比较合算，因为FA给的少，可以用这个钱补贴一下。

CORNELL 比 Columbia，UPenn 容易录取，不是一个级别。

哪个学校的学生素质好去哪个--- what is the meaning of "学生素质"? Who judge it? Who is qualified to judge the "学生素质"?
By you? What is your qualification to say which school has higher "学生素质"? which one has the lowest one?
Nonsense!
has two missions: the private schools have admisison rates similar to other top ivies; the public schools have relatively higher rates but still high demanding.
those students are not really true lover for their CS major--- just follow the generic trends of school reputations!
Our consul. recommend applying for 5-- no need more.
We have UTA CS as a safe selection--- Texans advantages.
除了HYP， 其他藤校录取运气和申请策略起很大的作用。我们地区历届录取情况反映了这个规律。所以申请把握最大的那所学校。
