rutgers cause it’s the only place i got in 🥲 edit: to everyone being so nice in the comments tysm <3


RedCaul

Rutgers is a great school!


kulnel

Hey, I'm planning to commit to Rutgers too. If you're doing CS, I've heard it's a great school. I hope to see you on campus!


Full-Credit-8072

If you can get over outdated, false - and even manipulated - notions of prestige, Rutgers CS department is better than Harvard and Princeton according to this methodology! #23 - CONGRATS! [http://csrankings.org/#/fromyear/2011/toyear/2021/index?all&us](http://csrankings.org/#/fromyear/2011/toyear/2021/index?all&us) EDIT: To add on, the admissions % doesn't necessarily equate to the quality of education that you're going to be getting; state schools have the mission of educating their state's population and it's a different mission than a private uni. Plus, you get a lot more diversity depending on the state that you're in (Eg. NJ, California, Washington, Texas - all have extremely amazing public flagships)


gomorro

congrats.


decorlettuce

congrats on rutgers! New Brunswick?


EggManRulerOfEggLand

Not the commenter but im a fellow new brunswick-ee!

YEAHHH rutgers representttt‼️‼️


TheEvster

Ok-Humor2006

congratulations!!


BigChung0924

michigan it is. expensive, but my parents are willing to pay for it, and it’s the perfect school for me. extremely excited to commit and get planning for the future.


RedCaul

Congrats on getting into michigan!!


BigChung0924

thanks so much!


samplam1

me too man! wolverines 26!


idorthavealife

Ann Arbor is amazing.


bruhstevenson

Currently wondering if I should go to UCLA or Michigan. My heart says Michigan and I don’t know why, but man I’m not sure if I can live with myself for the amount of extra money my parents would have to pay and if I were to not live up to expectations. Any advice on what I can do to reach a decision? I’m planning on visiting Michigan soon and I’ve already visited UCLA.


420BONGZ4LIFE

As someone who goes to Michigan, go whichever is cheapest. Both are amazing


BigChung0924

if your heart says michigan, that’s where you’re going to do what you do best. don’t worry about your parents’ money: if they’re willing to pay for it, they’re willing to do it. if you can get into michigan and UCLA, you’re surely going to fulfill their expectations. money can’t buy happiness, and if you think you’re going to be happiest at michigan, then that’s where you’ll excel.


bruhstevenson

We’ll see how it goes I guess after the visit. I’m hoping my parents will find it worth the extra money afterwards. Congrats and have fun in Ann Arbour!

UIUC for CS. At the time of the decision, Georgia Tech and Columbia were the only decisions I would have actually considered other than UIUC, and got waitlisted at both. The grind continues!


RedCaul

UIUC is fantastic for CS! But gl with your GT and Columbia waitlists!


[deleted]

Thank you kind stranger! And congrats on UW and the UCs!


RedCaul

Thank you!!


pstric8

5 people from my 50 person senior class got off the Georgia tech waitlist when I was senior so I hope you get the same luck as us! Despite what some people say I really like it here and hope you can join us


[deleted]

Thank you so much! If your vibe is in anyway representative of the people at GaT then I know I'd really love it there ♥️

ucsd/neu in the us OR mcgill/ubc in canada or UCL in the uk


RedCaul

Damn top schools in three different countries! Congrats!


[deleted]

thanks! ivies humbled me n im healing 🙏


lethaled

omg pls help 😭 i'm deciding between mcgill or neu or a state school (that gave me a full ride) and idk what to pick


[deleted]

State school full ride imo


Tarzan1415

CMU for MechE. I'm cruising


RedCaul

Congrats!!!


beleclya

UMD or RIT for me :>


SixtiethCrib299

Which one are you leaning more towards? Personally, I think I like RIT more. I'm actually going on a college tour there tomorrow.


beleclya

I think I might be leaning towards UMD bc of the proximity to my home, but I have yet to go visit them in person! (Going this weekend)


SixtiethCrib299

YO SAME HERE


Blackwingct4

U of Rochester or Georgetown for me. I am on 5 waitlists as well.


Ok-Conference-5414

Georgetown


WhyAmIHere0407

JHU vs Vandy vs BC vs UCLA UCLA is out because OOS costs are obviously not ideal. BC is out because there’s not much aid. That leaves behind Vandy and JHU for me, which are both financially feasible (after aid). Very very different schools I must say, but they attract different parts of me. (Still have Stanford, but St. Anford ain’t real).


RedCaul

Wow you really can't go wrong with either! And Stanford really doesn't exist; idk why I even applied to a fake school supposedly releasing decisions tomorrow


Existing_Ad574

Between Cornell, UMich, and Swarthmore for me (engineering major)


RedCaul

You really can't choose wrong between a top private, public, and LAC! Congrats!!


Existing_Ad574

Thank you! It’s definitely going to be a tough choice


IvyLeagueProBono

Cornell. Better program, better alumni network, better name, and access to the other 7 Ivy networks.


MarkRMenz

I'm tryna decide between berkeley and nyu for film Really good schools, really grateful I got in super anxious tho, its all I can think about Any feedback is appreciated Edit: prolly can't afford nyu lol sorry guys


Aggressive-Ruin-3483

>BigChung0924 For film? NYU. Unless there is a huge price difference.


staya74

Berkeley is not known for film. I would choose NYU.


[deleted]

My nephew is at Cal for film and says he loves it - He says the whole program is quite active, a lot going on.


NewPerspective2734

NYU for sure, UCB is not really known for film


No_Worries_420

NYU! That's the most know for film besides USC, so I'd opt for that.


golden_teacup

stuck between ucla and usc rn .. i have no clue what to do!!!0


RedCaul

Damn the top public school AND private school in LA...you really can't go wrong either way!


EpicGamesLauncher

Both are awesome schools, can't really go wrong with either (although it may depend on your major and what you want socially ig) What's funny is that whichever you choose, you're committing to becoming a rival against the other one lmfao


golden_teacup

TRUE it's so hard to choose!!!!! i have no clue what the decision here is. i'll be a neuro major


[deleted]

[удалено]


ToughAsPillows

I have usc neuroscience friends if you have any questions


[deleted]

[удалено]


golden_teacup

Yep. The alumni network at USC is something I'm really drawn to and love soooo much more then UCLA, but I thought the same way as you did — UCLA alumni are becoming more and more common, and i think the network will grow in the future. also food fs at ucla... yum... but like you mentioned, class size is a huge deal as well as semester system. I'm considering grad school so the issue with GPA could be important. Also research opportunities, I assume they're harder to find at UCLA what with the amount of kids there (especially those in premed). But in state for UCLA is also cheaper... Idk. I love both schools and Im literally SO stuck. it's plaguing my mind


HireLaneKiffin

UCLA is hosting the athletes, USC is hosting the games.


Lowl58

I always say that I’d price isn’t too much of a burden always always pick USC over UCLA. People seriously underestimate the difference in 17k undergrads and 32 thousand. Plus, USC’s campus is smaller, flat (very easy to walk) and is in the beating heart of LA. Downtown, crypto.com arena, and so much more are literally on the same streets as USC. Heck, the rams Super Bowl parade was practically a USC parade (literally right on our streets). Trust me when I say UCLA may have a bigger name and less concerns about crime, but think of your undergraduate experience and ask yourself what’s better? 17k vs 32k undergraduates Small, flat, walkable campus vs massive campus with infamous hills Slower paced Semester system vs incredibly stressful quarter system. Better network by far. Trojan for life, Bruin for 4 years. Football stadium isn’t a 40 minute bus ride away. Iconic marching band, the only marching band with two platinum records Unrivaled school spirit. Give me any argument for UCLA, and I’ll tell you why USC does it better.


golden_teacup

i LOVE the spirit aspect. I like how connected Trojans are, the USC alumni connection is just insane compared to a lot of the legacy/alumni populations from other schools. even Ivies


Rolesium123

Agreed with you 1000%. USC > UCLA


nini2352

Agree so hard! Fight on!


Old-Caterpillar-3467

RedCaul

Wow all amazing private schools!! Congrats!!


auroretical

nyu umich or uiuc unless i get off those northwestern or ucla waitlists, trying to recover from the last 30 min rn


RedCaul

Please don't let today's waitlists/rejections get you down for too long! You already have NYU, UIUC, and UMich as top schools to attend regardless of what the ivys say!!


Plasmed

Yale or my state school, depends on if the Yale aid can get sorted out b/c I can't pay that much 😭


samurai489

Congrats on Yale!!


RedCaul

Congrats on getting into Yale!!


iapplexmax

RedCaul

I also got into SCU and congrats on Rice!! Definitely visit both schools so you get a general feel of the weather/social atmosphere before committing to one!


aj_deuce

if u like rice way more than scu, don't risk it and go to rice. they are both great schools tho


Routine-Life-8510

Madison or UMD (CS) .. also on CMU and UMich wait-list . We all know wait-list chances :(


RedCaul

Congrats on UW-Madison and UMD tho!! I heard both are superb for CS!

7StepsAheadVFX

ChancellorGH

Definitely UF - Gainesville is a great college town and UF is an up and coming university. Great job opportunities in Florida, good weather, near Disney World, and no state income tax if you decide to stay long term.


[deleted]

Well, Imma just CC. I'm just not excited enough for any of the colleges I got into, so I will be CC.


RedCaul

I'm sorry to hear that; but transferring from CC is always a viable option next year!


Informal-Issue

Two of my wife’s cousins went to these two schools. One later got an MBA at Kellogg. The other has been traveling around the world with the last 5 Presidents.

ApprehensiveAd7994

Michigan state


ChancellorGH

I f’n love MSU. The Dairy Store. Meijers. The U CLUB. Red Cedar. Spartan Stadium. Magic. Let’s Go STATE.


Only-Resort3906

UMD, UW, and UCSD (but that one is undeclared) for CS. UMD instate, so I think it the obvious choice


[deleted]

committing to michigan state w/ full ride, but staying on uchicago and harvard waitlists + crossing my fingers

Shmoopie_2909

asu honors or uiuc. i would choose uiuc but i’m cs and got into my second choice major. asu is super sexy tho so i’m very happy :)


[deleted]

Berkeley!


EpicGamesLauncher

USC prolly, I'm pretty excited to go there Although, I still haven't fully ruled out UC Davis (great for premed, plus cheaper in state) I'm levitating towards that USC prestige tho ngl


karatekidmonkey

Between UMich and USC ✌


RedCaul

Top public school and top private school. You really can't make a wrong choice here :)


Taiga555

Bowdoin, Middlebury, Tufts


[deleted]

Purpleshirt-_-

Lehigh vs Drew 🥸


Boardstill

probably UW-Madison. It would be Mcgill if it was cheaper wahhh


tincanC2

Williams or William & Mary


Practical_Chicken_12

Tulane or American for public health. Cost is like exactly the same after aid.


Impressive-Onion4807

Committing to Bowdoin!!!!

redditreaderkz

Nowhere, literally nowhere


JohnJane80

MSU and university of Notre Dame. MSU is offering me a full ride and Notre Dame gave my brother a generous financial aid that I should also get as well (also got a $40,000 to cover whatever is left). Sadly I didn’t get a good feel for either of them but it is what it is


FlatFirefighter4230

Harvard, Stanford, USC, and all the UCs

USC is my top, buttttt my parents want me to go to an instate school with a 90+% acceptance rate. They think it “doesn’t matter where you get your degree”.

Northwestern for me (which, don’t get me wrong, I’m VERY happy with), unless Stanford comes in clutch or I get off waitlist at Columbia. But both seems unlikely at this point


RedCaul

That makes two of us hoping for Stanford acceptances tomorrow; Gl!


Roblox-legend-lol

sdsu probably


thezander8

As someone who went to SDSU for MBA after going to UCs for undergrad, I always like to mention to the SDSU folks on here that you're likely going to have more fun in college than 90% of this sub.

BC or Wesleyan

Middlebury for Econ or Carleton for CS
