am i being reasonable(CS major)?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I am in my second semester at a community college right now. I am going there basically bc I fooled around in highschool(graduated from private hs w/ 2.9gpa) and really just never concentrated on my studies until now. I am a female majoring in computer science and earned a 3.6 gpa in my first semester and plan on graduating in one and a half years with hopefully a 3.5-3.7 gpa.
Lately, I've been reseraching colleges and am just so confused. Do universtities even take community colleges seriously? I am very worried about my future and want to make a good living, but am scared that I wont get into any good universities for computer science. I've been looking into RIT, University of Rochester, Rutgers, OSU, Rice, Carnegie Mellon etc. Am I setting my standards too high though? I want to go to a school that will give me an edge against competition when I graduate, however I just dont know if it is possible.<br>
So basically my 2 major questions are:
What colleges (besides what I mentioned) would be of interest to me and my ability? And, would provide me with a solid background in CS and a good paying job when I graduate. Also, are the colleges above out of my league?(be honest)</p>

<p>Looks like you got a nice list of reaches and matches and safeties. Apply and hope for the best!</p>

<p>only one you have the slightest chance in is RSI</p>

<p>what would you say are my matches and safeties?</p>

<p>You are probably in OSU and Rutgers. I would say Carnegie Mellon CS is a huge reach, though.</p>

<p>No, you're not being reasonable. A reasonable person would conclude that receiving a B for ANY reason is a death sentence. The government and the colleges you plan to transfer to are probably sending out agents to kill you as we speak.</p>
