Is there anyone with a math degree or computer science degree???? Need some help on choosing which colleges to apply to?

Not sure if you are aware (you are at 100 tech, so maybe you do know, but gonna say it anyway), when you are buying tech to send out, NEVER have more than 100 on hand at one time. You should be profiting from selling tech if you are using the 12 step format. Starting at 0 tech, buy 12 batches in this order: one batch of 4.5, then two batches of 10, then a batch of 5, then four batches of 10, a batch of 5, two batches of 10, and finally a batch of 5.5.

NOTE:
If you have an odd number of tech that is less than 0.5 tech (0.01 to 0.49), ignore it as if it doesnt exist. This can happen from being hit in war and losing partial tech. So if you have 0.34 tech, buy like normal using the steps exactly. (You'd have 4.84 in this example after buying the first batch of 4.5...and end with 100.34 after all batches are bought).)

If you have an odd number more than 0.5 (0.51 to 0.99), you would buy only 4 on the first batch, not 4.5. So if you have 0.69 tech, you only buy 4 tech on the first batch, then follow all other steps exactly. (You'd have 4.69 in this example after buying the first batch of 4 instead of 4.5...and end with 100.19 after all batches are bought. Then your next time buying you'd follow the above example having less than 0.5 tech remaining.)

Well incidentally I am pursuing some sort of math/cs degree myself. I also just finished applying (although my choice was sort of obvious taking cost and quality into consideration)

well it completely depends on what kind of school you want to go to, (large univeristy, small school, public/private university, in the city, out in the boonies) how much you can afford (good private schools run over 55k a year), how far you are willing to travel(do you want to stay in-state? do you mind going to school anywhere in the country) and what kind of grades you can get. (if your grades suck you probably wont be able to get into the top end schools)

As an engineer myself, realistically your actual college degree is basically only good for getting your foot into the door of your first job. So keep that in mind with what ever school you pick.

That being said while you are at school to gain an education, what you are really doing is finding a place to live and make friends you will hang out with for the rest of your life. So I would recommend you go visit a ton of different campus's and see what you like and what appeals to you.
