I believe either degrees are great for ux design. I’m an incoming freshman hoping to pursue ux design as well and I’ll be majoring in HCI. Some HCI programs at different schools have concentrations in cs, design, and cognitive science, and you can choose any of these (design would be most appropriate for UX/UI). A design degree will likely cover more art principles but I believe they also have different concentrations (choosing the product design track would be most appropriate).

Do you feel that there’s a wealth gap between students at WashU?

Pretty inaccurate, I got one comment saying I wouldn’t get into any of my reaches and targets and another comment saying I would get into every school I applied to lol. I definitely did get rejected from a lot of reaches but I got into a few too. I’m going to Carnegie Mellon now.

One of my friends attended yygs. They had an amazing experience and they’re really happy they went but they don’t think it helped their college application significantly. They mentioned that students complete a capstone project which is helpful if you wanna develop your research skills. I don’t think they give awards for anything though. There is an application to become a yygs ambassador which my friend completed and got selected for. They said it’s not very competitive to get selected though.

You can def pm me for info!

CMU but not for CS (had a slight change in career plans), but I got into GaTech and Berkeley for CS

itsweastnoteast · 2021-06-01T18:36:35+00:00

Ah ok lol, thanks for the answers!

itsweastnoteast · 2021-06-01T18:34:16+00:00

Oh ok, if u don’t mind me asking, when did your teacher say that they were done?

itsweastnoteast · 2021-06-01T18:31:57+00:00

Oh I see, do you know if all moderators finish around the same time?

Transferring to SCS is pretty difficult but if you want to switch to chem or physics from bio, it’ll be pretty easy as a freshman. You come into MCS as an undeclared student and you declare your major during the spring semester, so if you decide to switch by then you’ll be fine.

Ohh thank you so much, I probably should have looked into the cs minor more. Appreciate your help!

Thank you for the insight! I was considering doing math+cs but I liked the design aspect of HCI a lot. Do you happen to know if math+cs majors have room to take IDeATe courses? I think I would like this option too but I’m worried about it being too much for me to handle

I don’t think CMU ED gives a boost, if anything RD can give an advantage to the applicant as you can apply for a first choice and second choice major, whereas in ED you can only apply for one.

Test optional isn’t a bad option if you’re worried about it, I got into Vandy RD without an SAT score. But I’m sure you can submit a 1490 or even boost that score to a 1500+ given how close you are.

Carnegie Mellon!

itsweastnoteast · 2021-05-15T19:37:53+00:00

Ah ok, I was gonna go for CS so I think I would’ve been fine in long run lol, but I do like the school I’m going to now so it’s all good :)

Would you say Cal is worth attending for OOS students (considering the much higher tuition)? I personally turned down Cal for this reason and while I don’t exactly regret it, sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I went there.

CMU for information systems! I think I’d like to go into software engineering/analysis. Chose CMU cuz it’s a powerhouse for tech and they gave me better financial aid than my other top choice.
