  1. I can tell you a bit about NYU and NYU-Poly. NYU is much stronger in theory related topics. NYU's CS department is part of the Courant Institute. My impression of Poly is that their program and students are more focused on programming. Poly does share all of NYU's resources since it has become it's engineering school. You can access all NYU facilities and use all of its services like every other NYU student. Also, Poly students can take a number of courses at Courant that'll count towards their degree. I don't remember how many, I think it's 3 courses. Personally, I think Poly has a pretty good reputation with employers around here. On the other hand, I've also heard a lot of bad things about Poly though even after the merger. Just to put it out there since you mentioned information systems, you might be interested in it, NYU has a master's program in information systems. It's a program between NYU Courant and NYU Stern, where you take half the required courses in each school. Basically your curriculum is half cs courses and half business courses.
  2. After briefly skimming their cs pages, I think CSI definitely has a much better fit for your interests. Queens college hasn't offered any courses in pattern and language recognition this past spring and isn't offering any for this coming fall semester. I've always had the impression that QC is generally better in cs though (maybe that's not true). If you're certain that you'll stick with pattern recognition, I'd pick CSI. Otherwise, I'd go with QC.
  3. I only applied to two schools, both of which is in NYC. I didn't think of it at the time, but if I had applied to more, I would still only pick schools in the city. The city had what I wanted and I couldn't afford to pay living out of state. On top of that I have to live with my family, so applying in-city was pretty much my only option.
  4. Well, think about what needs to be done and what are the steps to achieving it in plain English. You can do all this in a single "function." hints: 1. What needs to be stored? 2. What to do for each value that the user enters? You need to do something to calculate the max, min, count, and average. How to do each of those as the user enters each value? Hope that helps.
  5. Let me correct that, I guess you aren't burning bridges since you are just withdrawing from the program. I'd take the PhD offer because PhD > masters in almost every way. On top of that, you're probably not going back to your current school after you get your PhD, so it wouldn't matter if you leave.
  6. Burning bridges. But, I'd take the PhD offer.
  7. I've always thought that your chances of getting into a PhD program are higher if you do a master's thesis. I don't know how it works at other schools, but at NYU, you only have the option to write a thesis if you have at least a 3.7 gpa in the foundational courses. To me, the people choosing the thesis option are a bit more distinguished. At the very least it shows that you can do research.
  8. I don't think it's rude. I'm not her and you're not her. She has her reasons for not contacting them.
  9. Their free vocab resources are pretty good.
  10. Whichever one you think you will have a better life in over the next couple years. I'd take Cambridge. I like England. That's about it. Oh, and the name.
  11. USC is better. Tell them you want to back out from the program for personal reasons. You'll just lose the tuition deposit.
  12. Well, depends on how problematic cost is. I'd choose Purdue and reapply for a PhD later. No funding for PhD is gonna suck.
  13. I went to Hunter for undergrad. It's a pretty good school. A couple of computer science professors I had also taught math at the Graduate Center, they're good professors in my opinion. I don't know much about either school's graduate math programs. Which one fits your interests better? I think that's probably the most important factor. Let me know if you have any questions I might be able to answer about Hunter. Hope this was useful in some way.
