Hi,

UCR MS CS should be your pick. UCR follows the quarter system which I believe is 3 quarters equal 1 year. Each quarter you will have to study and pass the subjects that you select for that quarter. Basically, very intensive coursework but again good thing prepares you for the best.

UCR has a higher ranking than Bing and Santa Clara. I believe School's reputation, is less important based on my research and discussions with seniors and graduates in these and other schools and the most important factor is courses offered. So ultimately Coursework and major is of utmost importance here. Check if you can take electives related to your domain of interest to fulfill your goals and which school allows you to do that.

In conclusion, Go for CS definitely. And the best one among your CS admits is UCR.

Hi,
I would say that if your goal is to go into an AI or related field then go with UC Santa Cruz. Don't worry about NLP is the new program, the course curriculum and the university is top-notch. UCSC is also close to the bay area. Most students from UCSC get an internship in the bay area itself.

If your goal is not to get into an AI or related field but a general SDE field then UCR CS is the best way to go.

Hi,
Hope you are doing well.
You can compare the curriculums, concentration, electives and location of the particular program offered by the respective universities for which you would want to apply, as they might the most significant factors in your decision-making process. Also, reach out to the alumnis of the program of your choice, on LinkedIn, as some of them might reply to you. Additionally, you can go through the popular rankings websites such 'QS RANKINGS 2022', 'US NEWS RANKINGS 2022', 'TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION RANKINGS 2022' and 'Forbes US University Rankings 2021'. Also, you should consider the factors such as 'Cost of living', 'Year-round weather conditions', 'CPT & OPT opportunities that maybe offered by the university'. Also, you can contact the college representatives via the email id and/or contact number on the respective program page, department page or university website. Hope this helps you to get better clarity than before.
All The Best!!!👍🏻
