    Plus CS > ECE

    UIUC is a great school, but not as reputable as Stanford. Also the weather and quality of life at UIUC is much worse. Go with Stanford and try to get funding afterwards

    When you say "intern", do you mean a summer internship at a company or being a research assistant? Honestly, CMU and UCSD are both on par for EE. I would assume that CMU SV has way less class options and cost more.
  4. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    congrats! why not apply to Caltech, Berkeley, or CMU SV if u applied to Stanford? Which one you going?
  5. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    why do you want research opportunities? isn't a ms just classes?

    2 years on, I have to say that I am glad it didn't work out :).

    Sounds like the only thing going for VT is a specific advisor. Everything else is heavily in favor of Stanford. Stanford is the obvious choice and will open many doors.
  8. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    It's MIT, you have to go!!!
  9. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    I would pick UIUC because they have strong computer science and engineering. Plus it is much cheaper.
  10. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    If both programs are the same cost, i would cost CMU because it has a much better ECE Program. It doesn't really matter that it starts in Spring

    Ivy leagues are not prestigious in CS
  12. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    Dont come to Cambridge, it is super cold and drivers are terrible. Stick with West Coast!
  13. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    Both are equal in terms of helping you reach your potential. Go with Stanford for the better weather and options to pivot to Tech if you realize that academia is not for you.
  14. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    CMU offers so many different and specialized masters programs... its kind of overkill
  15. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    Name brand of grad school is most important if you went to a weak undergrad institution.

    When MIT accepts you, you go to MIT

    Here is the deal, MEM degrees (and their many cousins like ETIM) are very new degrees that companies in industry don't really know what to make of them. Especially without any work experience, your MEM degree isn't really going to get you any different job coming out of graduation because a company isnt gonna take the risk of giving a higher level position. An MS in ME degree is much more understood and thats what I think is the main advantage of CMU option

    UIUC is the most reputable, but also the most miserable. Their PhD program is notoriously rigorous and the city is extremely boring.
  19. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    Data science is a great field. Hope you'll make lots of $$$ later!
  20. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    obviously Stanford
  21. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    UIUC requires 2 years and a thesis. I would choose UCLA for the weather
  22. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    Yes, pick cornell tech. I wish that I had applied to Cornell Tech when I was considering Grad school. They have an amazing hands on curricula and the 1 year for a MEng is a great value. Also nobody in industry distinguishes between a MEng vs MS. Also Cornell has much better name in CS than NYU.
  23. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    U Chicago is definitely more prestigious
  24. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    you realize that Caltech is tiny right? Its about quality not quantity
  25. TheMostPowerfulApplicant
    good luck my EE homies
