<p>Chance me for CompSci?
I'm an asian male applying for compsci at UIUC, Cornell, and Carnegie Mellon (maybe Stanford or Berkeley?) and I'm not really sure where else to apply to for compsci (looking for scholarships). Please let me know if I have a shot at any other top schools with a chance for some scholarship money. I have a sibling in college (UIUC) and one parent who works, around $100,000 income. I don't know how generous financial aid will be so I'm still looking around. I was thinking maybe applying Northwestern for Economics or any other engineering such as computer engineering or chemical engineering. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for where I should apply or how much scholarship I might get.

<p>Cornell seems to give better financial aid than CMU and most other schools but I don’t think I have a very good shot at any of the more elite schools…UIUC seems to be my only “match” school right now</p>

<p>You have a great resume. Make sure your essay(s) are good and you should get into UIUC and Carnegie Mellon and should have a decent chance at Cornell and Stanford.</p>

<p>Please chance me back for Princeton ED. (I’m a recent thread).</p>

<p>OP. Having reviewed your credentials…and your serious interest in computer science…I would strongly recommend applying to Stanford, MIT, Harvey Mudd, Berkeley…in addition to the three schools (excellent choices) you have mentioned…you only live once…and depending on your essays and recommendations you may get lucky and get into one or two of the schools I have listed…good luck!</p>
