Bio Engineering I would check out the starting salaries and employment rates, and the types of jobs. My wife worked with a UC Berkeley Bio graduate, and he felt gipped by his degree and the pay he got.
Great work, and great options. The mix of Accepts and rejects just goes to show how random this game ultimately is. Best of luck Audrey, and don’t buy into the fantasy that there’s only one best school out there for you. If you like it and it feels good, and checks all your boxes, it will be great- there might be a few that do and if so, just flip a coin 😆
I have a meaningful personal affiliation with 3 of the schools where she is not rejected.
If she can go to Yale or Duke, or CMU CS and graduate with it, do it. She sounds like the driven type that will rocket upwards from there. The other privates you should definitely do your math on vs (potential, out of state can be pricey) cost savings at a public school. I took the large scholarship to a public school, I am now on faculty at one of those fancy private schools...
Also, it looks like there is some (not perfect) correlation with her in-state/out-of-state status at the public schools (UT, UW). Understand that's just the way it is sometimes.
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, we figured the Tennessee and Washington and Texas rejections were because she is out of state. She wasn’t bothered.
Michigan State is a strong contender. And we found out she gets in-state because Im military.
We are looking at this very analytical. Public. Out of State. Private. It will all come down to dollars and sense.
If u subscribe to my blog we will post all the numbers.
As far as driven you have no idea. She got herself into a top boarding school by herself. Skipped 10th grade to do it. Completely opposite of me who had a 2.3 HS GPA and then failed out of community college.

Computer Science is solid on the salaries.
Best of luck!

Once we get all the decisions, we are going to rank schools and programs. Then look at scholarships and ROI all on a spreadsheet.
