Wow, that's great you guys! I personally like the sound of COSC way better than the other two HANDS down. This is because I live in NYC & our major (HUGE) utility company over here is called ConEdison, which is named after Thomas Edison haha. So it's just a personal thing. Although I think TESC sounds great everywhere else. I still haven't ruled TESC out over COSC. Still trying to understand the diploma thing. If both award diplomas in the same fashion (with no major or concentration actually stated on it) then I may lean toward TESC just because tuition seems more affordable and I have heard many good things about them. Seems to be almost neck in neck with COSC.
That's AWESOME that graduates from all big 3 have SO many options. It all almost boils down to each specific grad program you're looking at. What applies to the big 3 would also apply to "traditional" undergraduate programs. You have to ask grad programs what is accepted or not. I look at it like this. I'm in the tri-state area and may end up moving (or just staying) and I am positive that there are at LEAST a dozen traditional brick and mortar schools out there that will accept me. It's not like there are only 2 choices for me or anything, so I think I will worry more about that when the time comes. I would love to go to NYU...would love. I have contacted Columbia University about a different situation, but what they and other grad schools have voiced to me is that acceptance into grad programs work a little differently, they practically told me that GPA requirements aren't even as strict and that SATs are not required. Not sure, but maybe they figure that grad school is something an adult pays for out of their own pocket and that weeds out a LOT of applicants, so they are a little more lenient than one would think?
I just have a feeling it's not going to be too bad of a process. I asked merely out of curiosity
. Going to catch up on all your posts and awesome information. I'm wondering if, when it comes down to my decision TESC vs. COSC on how I would go about making a firm choice to go with either one....guessing I should apply to both and weigh out the amount of classes/requirements I need as well as cost? Happy Sunday all.:patriot:
