SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the decision between pursuing a second undergraduate degree or applying for a Master's in Electrical Engineering (EE) or Computer Science to gain admission to an Ivy League school. The individual is graduating in the top 5% of their class in Industrial Engineering in Peru and has financial support from their parents. Additionally, they are involved in a research project with a PhD candidate in nuclear physics, which strengthens their application. The consensus suggests that applying for a Master's may be more advantageous given their academic standing and research experience.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ivy League admission criteria
  • Knowledge of Master's programs in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
  • Familiarity with undergraduate vs. graduate degree benefits
  • Awareness of financial implications of attending Ivy League schools
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Ivy League Master's programs in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
  • Explore application requirements for graduate programs at schools like UPenn
  • Investigate potential funding options for graduate studies
  • Connect with academic advisors or mentors in the field of interest
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students, particularly those transitioning from undergraduate studies in engineering, and individuals seeking admission to competitive programs in Ivy League institutions.

Hi i am studying industrial engineering in Peru and i will graduate in 2 months. I was young when i chose this major, and now i have realized i want to enroll into a more technical engineering involving technology. I was thinking electrical engineering or computer science.

My question is if i should go for a second undergraduate or apply for a ms in EE or computer science if i want to get into an ivy league school.

I have financial support from my parents and i will graduate in the top 5% of my class. Besides that i am helping a professor with a pHd in nuclear physics with a research project.
what should i do?

thanks

if you're as loaded as you appear to be, upenn might offer you admittance without aid, so you would have to pay 100% of everything for the degree you are going for.
