Degree plan Charter Oak with goal of Georgia Tech OMSCS

[jonesy20]

>  Was accepted into Univ of Illinois Springfield's MS/CS program and took 2 courses and was then accepted into Univ of Illinois Urbana Champagne's MCS program.

so you were accepted into one MS program, took two courses, and then was accepted into the 2nd MS program and so you dropped out of the first one ?

why not continue with the first one ?              
just because the 2nd one has a better reputation ?              

did the two courses from the first transfer to the 2nd ?

My plan was to go to UIUC from the beginning but the decision process is much slower. That's why I got started at Springfield. Plus it's more expensive. They allow 12 credits worth of transfers. So I took 2 classes at Springfield which is cheaper. If the credits transfer (same school system, small 4cr per class, so I'm hopeful they will) then I'll continue at UIUC. UIUC is requiring me to drop UIS but there would be no reason to try to do both anyways.

In CS it's Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley, MIT, Stanford tied for 1st. Then UIUC in 5th. So pretty serious reputation.
