Hi guys,

I'm a high school senior, and am currently weighing my options for undergraduate study in electrical/computer engineering. I've received offers of admission from-

Georgia Tech
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign (+ James honor program)
Carnegie Mellon
University of Texas - Austin

I'm interested in microarchitecture, but that might change by the time I get my bachelors degree.

How good are the undergrad programs at these colleges, and how good are the facilities, undergrad research opportunities etc?

The first three are excellent; CMU in particular is known for its computer science and engineering program.
 
Canergie Mellon is excellent for computer science.
 
Thanks for the quick responses guys.

Any idea on how well CMU fares against UIUC for semiconductor electronics, etc?
 

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
