Do you think going to an Ivy league or another strong school can bring a crucial difference in my career as acomputer scientist?

Answer 1

It depends on what you are trying to achieve. By diffrence do you mean getting a better higher paying job? Or do you mean a diffrence in your programming? Going to an ivy league school can set you apart in interviews but it is a big investment. I think a masters at a maybe less sought after school is also a good route. Recruiters may even value that higher then a bachelors at a ivy league school. Hope this helps.
