• Need help expanding my college list

  Bruh there is nothing good about Texas Tech engineering/cs. Definitely apply to TAMU it is a bit worse than UT for CS, but miles ahead of Texas Tech. TAMU engineering is easy to get into, but requires you to have a 3.8+ College GPA freshman year to be guaranteed the CS major. Use https://collegescorecard.ed.gov since it tells you the average CS salaries for the colleges you're planning to apply to. Source: 11 months ago

• 🛑🛑Chance me!!! Very Average CS hopeful!!😭😭

• RPI Or OSU for cs

  Sorry, I should have made it more clear. I was actually refering to the 17k as 17k annually. Its because of the crazy salary difference. Its a question of how you would get that 17k. An extra 40,000$ a year in the salary outlooks is no joke. Thats a big deal. (I got that data from https://collegescorecard.ed.gov . Its a tool made by the US dept of education in tandem with the IRS, so its reliable) Also, try... Source: about 1 year ago

• Discharged loans. 3 years of credit. What degree is worth it?

  What degrees = high earnings? I don't see any locally around me that are reported on the https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/ website. Would a high score on an official IQ test do anything for me? How about a high score on an SAT? I did not care much about these things when I was younger but I feel as though I am capable and smart so if there is a way to prove in measurement let me know. Also, maybe I'm not as smart... Source: about 1 year ago

  This source has "salary after completing" programs at various universities, https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/ including UF and UVA. It does look like UVA starting salaries are higher. But consider the cost of attendance and the fact that you would probably be able to earn a masters at UF in the same it would take to get an undergrad degree at UVA. Source: about 1 year ago

• Rose hulman 30k/yr or Purdue 25k/yr

• does prestige matter for computer engineering and, if so, how much?

  I would suggest looking at salary data on https://collegescorecard.ed.gov where it's broken out by major for pretty much every school with a large program. For some schools it will be reported as electrical engineering, but those should be obvious. Source: about 1 year ago
