I deleted my earlier post when I realized maths is your second choice.
I also neglected to consider UIUC biases in favor of out-of-staters for
money reasons, and that many green high school students -- those who
aren't olympiad winners -- don't realize university-level maths is a
whole other ball game from what they're used to, and drop the major
after the first semester.
Go with UTDallas. They've got a great CS program, and it'll be free for
you.
- arjvik 4y agoChoose Texas A&M over UT Dallas. UTD may have a little better CS program on paper than A&M, but you won't enjoy life there. The culture at both schools is incredibly different. I have several friends at both studying CS—only those at Dallas regret their choice of university.
