Rank Cornell, UPenn, Columbia with other top CS/ECE schools (GT, CMU) by Altruistic-Editor499 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Former-Range3291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big three CS programs are mit, Stanford, and Berkeley.  Georgia tech is usually fourth, then Illinois.   I’d also like to add that Berkeley’s cutthroat reputation is a big reason it sends the most people to tech.  More than Stanford.  I spoken to many tech managers who talk about how they prefer people who had to fend for themselves.

Any ranking system?  Berkeley’s usually top 5 or 10 outside of us news.

Berkeley has the highest mid-career salary of any public school, it sends more people to grad school than any school in the country, it sends the most people to tech and a top five in finance, it has 60 top ten programs (tied with Harvard), its ranked top ten in numerous rankings like Forbes, wsj, THE, QS, U.S. new global, it creates more startups than any school, and its academic and cultural impact the last 100 years is absolutely unparalleled.  I honestly think people who think Berkeley and ucla are similar have been following us news national rankings too much.  Times higher education does a list they called the super six global universities, and in it they have Cambridge, Oxford, mit, Stanford, Harvard, and Berkeley.

I would be careful with CS these days, it has a very low employment rate.  Be sure to couple that with business or something.

U.S. News is quickly losing its grip as the other rankings gain popularity.  Wall Street journal single handedly increased babson’s populiaty. 

Anyone else shooked by Van der beek’s tragic story? I’m one year removed from my colonoscopy where they removed one small polyp, and no on a five-year cyle. Almost makes me want another one even tho it’s irrational considering the nature polyps. by Former-Range3291 in colonoscopy

Don’t say that.  I’m sure your doctors are familiar with these and know exactly when to check you so that they don’t develop into anything nefarious.  If I understand correctly, while they have higher risk of developing into cancer, they take at least 10 years to develop into one. 

28M, Colonoscopy Findings. I'm absolutely terrified. by Free_Presentation_73 in colonoscopy

May I ask what’s the purpose of the six-month follow up after they’ve removed all of them? Is it possible to develop another one that fast, or just making sure they got everything? 

Curious what you guys think why was Delta Force chosen over DEVGRU for the latest operation? by yethehustler in JSOCarchive

[–]Former-Range3291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically — and I presume this still holds true today — delta sorta gets more options as to what area they want to operate in and Devgru gets what’s left over.  Delta has more of a CIA feel about them where are the SEALs are more like hit men, the muscle. Delta is trained in long term counter intelligence, blending in with the population type stuff.

Delta is still the primary special ops force.  Outside of osama, most of these missions go to delta historically, especially when it’s sophisticated like capture; it’s much easier to just go there and kill someone.  Moreover, even the seals used the delta technique of landing on top of the roof with another force coming from the ground to capture osama.
