Hi everyone, I'm currently a sophomore at a top school in the midwest. I am on track to graduate one year early with a degree in political science, but I would absolutely love to pursue an MS in CS with my fourth year. Given this, I'm planning to overload my course planning and take core CS requirements, like discrete math and fundamentals of computer programming, to put myself in a position where I end up graduating "on time" despite going for the MS. My question is this: should I just go with the concurrent BA/MS option that my school offers or is it feasible/worth it for me to attempt for a "higher ranked" MSCS program? What extra steps does the latter require and what other factors should I be considering? Thanks
