My son got admission in Iowa State for fall 2020. He may go for it. Inexpensive and good carriculam.

Ramana Ambore · Answer

I shall write my detailed analysis on Iowa State University soon. You might be wondering why acceptance rates are high for Iowa State.

Iowa State uses a standardized formula for accepting potential candidates (the formula is provided at the end of the post). So, most of the students who apply to Iowa State already knew the chances of getting admission.
-----
A. Graduates of approved Iowa high schools who have the subject-matter background required by Iowa State University and who achieve a Regent Admission Index (RAI) score of at least 245 will be offered admission. Graduates of approved Iowa high schools who have the subject-matter background required by Iowa State University and who achieve less than a 245 RAI score will be considered for admission on an individual basis.

The RAI score will be calculated for each applicant based upon the mathematical formula listed below:

REGENT ADMISSION INDEX FORMULA:
   (ACT composite score x 3)

+ (Cumulative GPA x 30)

+ (Number of years of core courses in high school x 5)

= RAI Score

Note: For purposes of calculating the RAI, SAT scores will be ACT composite equivalents; high school GPA is expressed on a 4-point scale; and number of high school courses completed in the core subject areas is expressed in terms of years or fractions of years of study.

Applicants from high schools that do not present all of the factors required for calculation of the RAI score will be considered for admission on an individual basis.

Applicants who are admitted with less than a 245 RAI score may be required to participate in the first-year Smart Start Program as a condition of their enrollment.

B. Nonresidents of Iowa, including international students, may be held to higher academic standards, but must meet at least the same requirements as resident applicants.

Iowa has a good curriculum for CS, there are internship opportunities too. I'd choose Iowa state.

Ameya Karode · Answer

for CS RIT because the labs are really good and there are a lot of opportunities as well. In addition to that RIT has it's own CO-op program

Varun R · Answer

But RIT is in a terrible location. Transportation n food isn't good. The only thing they're doing well is co-op. And if you can get co-op anywhere. It's upto you. I got admission in ms in CS in RIT and I still trying to find the entire curriculum. If you've pls post it here.

Varun R · Answer
