looking for opinions

Hey,
I’ve been admitted to some schools,
But the two I’m considering are Baylor for computer Science and SMU for COX (I was admitted to the business school already)

Now my only only objective is creating the best possible career outcome for myself.

As someone who is no genius in math, CS would be very difficult for me. But if I finish the program I’d most likely have a nice job lined up.

I have heard that COX’s program “alts” is a target, but that’s it. Apparently breaking in to ib just from Cox is substantially harder without being in “alts”.

Now considering this has been a record breaking year for student applications to SMU, I am leaning more towards business rather then cs.

I do want to break into ib and switch over to pe at some point and my eq/iq are heavily biased towards business.

I chose Baylor for cs because they gave me a substantial amount of scholarships and they are a research 1 school.

SMU gave me zilch but I still think it would be worth it to attend if I’m gunning for ib.

So guys, any thoughts?
