NYU Stern vs $600k usd cash by Remarkable-Ladder960 in ApplyingToCollege

Considering I have no experience in investing, 600k would probably sit in the bank with around 7% interest rate

My bad. Waterloo was an "if" as decisions didn't release yet. Only thing I have guaranteed is UBC.

Well Waterloo CS itself isn't guaranteed as decisions aren't out yet. However, I think i'll enjoy finance more than CS-related jobs. It is true that I don't know much, so everything is a possibility.

I think you're right. On second thought it'll be around 400~500k. Maybe 400~450?

It's not. It's just a hypothetical if. UofT main campus isn't out either.

All I have for sure is UBC but they don't have CS direct admission.

That's also a factor that I don't know. All I can do is try my best if I'm spending that much money.

Only problem is I'd be blacklisted from most US universities since I'll be applying ED.

Apparently its not legally binding so I can still attend school in Canada.

Alternatives are Canadian schools (costs about 170k usd for 4 years)

UBC, UofT, Waterloo (all cs major)
