I go to Stevens and I think it's a great school. I love the flexibility of the MS program there. Stevens is also really starting to do well. I'm constantly seeing it in high rankings or very good rankings. I was born and raised in NYC and I never heard of Stevens before I was looking at grad schools but the more I learned the more I liked. There are many people that have never heard of it but let me say, every single job interview I have gone on they always have heard of Stevens so while most "normal" people might not have heard of them, people in the industry have. I also have noticed that the "normal" people who have heard of them all have been highly educated people. Like I met someone who was a MBA from an ivy league school and told them that I go to Stevens and she said "oh the Smarty Pants school" Haha They are also a tier 1 school. We were just ranked #3 in the nation on return on investment. #7 engineering school in the country by USA today as well as #9 school for Computer Science. #3 school in New Jersey (Princeton is #1) I think it's ranked like #75 in the country of all Universities by US News. And many more rankings I've seen lately. I also was considering NYU but I'm actually glad I didn't get into NYU and ended up at my 2nd pick. It's very challenging as well. I only go part time taking 2 courses a semester and the workload is a lot. I came from Baruch College for under grad with a BBA in Computer Information Systems and I have learned so much more in my short time at Stevens so far than I did at Baruch

I am wondering this as well. I know they are a very good school for engineering but I'm wondering about Computer Science. I also got into Stevens (part-time so no GRE required for me) I also got into Pace which is $3,000 cheaper a credit but even more because I got a scholarship to Pace so tuition would be half of what it is at Stevens. I'm really wondering if it's worth paying double for...

Umm you're wrong... so wrong...How do you get that from what you posted? It's now considered just another school just like Stern School of Business etc..... So if you Graduate from Stern it would say "New York University Stern School of Business" If you graduate from "NYU Poly" your degree would say "New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering" Just like it would for any other school in NYU. Before it wasn't even an NYU degree.. It was a NYU Poly degree and before that Poly.... And FYI you now do get full access to the NYU services. Source: http://engineering.nyu.edu/files/ftp/files/Merger%20Communications_Nov%2026%202013.pdf From the document: About the merger: To be precise, the Polytechnic Institute of NYU will: o no longer exist as an independent and separate corporation, o no longer have separate 501c3 status, o no longer be a separate employer, o be accredited as a school within New York University, rather than as an individual higher education institution, and o complete integration with most areas of the school and university by January 1, with some work-around transactions continuing through September 2014. About services: "The merger will enable a new service model that coordinates many services at the University level while enabling students, staff, and faculty to access many services at either a Brooklyn or Washington Square location, depending on which is more convenient for them. x NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering will continue to provide those services that are normally provided by a school or discipline (e.g. academic department administration and degree program administration, many graduate student services, discipline-specific activities, etc.). x NYU will provide a suite of university-wide services (e.g. undergraduate admissions, financial aid administration, university life services and programming, financial operations, facilities management, and public safety & security). x Because services have been consolidating since 2008, constituents will have anticipated many of the changes on January 1, 2014. However, in some specific cases, 2013-2014 is still considered a transitional year. For example, Athletics, per the NCAA waiver we sought and received, will not be fully merged until the summer of 2014. In addition, student employment policies and processes will not be fully integrated until the summer of 2014. Our December communications will indicate which services will and will not yet be fully integrated. x In some cases, the person you call or the process you engage in to access a service may change slightly. (For instance, your usual contact for purchasing will change to a contact in a University-level office.) x Resource guides will be made available by each department, as appropriate and necessary, for NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering constituents."

I posted this is the other thread asking There really is no difference anymore since NYU poly is now fully merged with NYU. If you graduate from "NYU poly" your degree will jus say NYU not NYU poly. You have all access to NYU resources and such. They use to be more separated than they are now. They even renamed it as well. It is now just considered another "school" of NYU. I've been accepted into Stevens but am taking the gre for NYU school of engineering.

Also got accepted into Marist with a Merit award of $150 off any course I take. So I'm just waiting to hear back from NYIT. I'm still deciding if I want to apply to NJIT and Brooklyn College. I guess no one has any input?

I've already been accepted to Pace for the MS in Software Development and Engineering program with a merit scholarship of $6400 a year if I got full time or $4600 a year if I go part time So anyone have any input on these programs?

Hi, I applied to a few grad programs and need some input. Which of of these do you think would be the better program? Pace University - MS in Software Development & Engineering Marist College - MS in Software Development NYIT - MS in Computer Science NJIT - MS in Computer Science. I'm having a hard time deciding which I'd rather go to. Each one has things I like and dislike about them. Does anyone know which of these programs is in better one or can give any input? Thanks
