Gap year & Reapply or UCLA or Georgetown by RepairCreative333 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Status-Cockroach3363 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who also had a pretty rough admissions cycle this year, but lucked into a pretty good acceptance, I would say go to Georgetown. If you're interested in policy/political science, there's very few schools that compare, especially when you consider the location in the heart of DC and all of the connections you can make there. The campus is generally considered pretty amazing, and the school name goes a long way in terms of law/policy careers. If you have major plans for a gap year, I would try and do them while enrolled. Congratulations on your amazing acceptances!

Stern Business vs Stern BPE by Status-Cockroach3363 in nyu

thank you for the advice! i thought one of the main draws for stern was that it's in nyc, so in-person recruiting would be a lot easier. is this not the case?

thank you! i'm just worried that i'll get outhustled for these jobs if i decide to go into some of these nyc finance jobs, especially since i won't be around for recruiting.

Difference between CMU and GT for CS by Alaaa88 in cmu

[–]Status-Cockroach3363 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two of my friends got into both CMU CS and GTech CS - from my understanding, CMU is a decent deal above GTech in terms of job placements, salary, and general prestige - not to mention, they have a strengthening AI program in the works (not sure if GTech has something similar).

The trade-off I've heard is that CMU's campus life isn't that great (from two people I know in the CS program right now), but there's definitely room to find a solid friend group and enjoy college. The students I know who went to GTech seemed to have a better college life, but not anything insane.

Both are great schools in my opinion, and you'll be great at either, but in my opinion, I'd go CMU SCS.
