CMU MCDS vs USCD MS CS

[meesuni88]

Shortlisted these 2 among the admits I have received.

I am more inclined towards joining the industry after graduation: SDE or Data Scientiest roles.

CMU MCDS.

Pros:

PRESTIGE

Great coursework.

Cons:

EXPENSIVE

I am concerned that the specialized nature of the degree will affect my future prospects

 

UCSD MC CS

Pros:

Very inexpensive if I manage to TA/RA

Cons:

Not as prestigious as CMU

 

Please help me decide between the two.
