I declined my admission to Brandeis - hopefully someone will get my spot
@linguist From the research I've done on both programs, I get the same kind of feelings from them. One reason I chose Rochester over Brandeis was because it seems like I could get a better CS foundation there. A big deciding factor for me though was the cost of living in Rochester vs the Boston area.
Since Rochester's decision deadline isn't until May 10, I'm probably going to wait through April and see if I get accepted off UW's waitlist.
