Chance me for CS and major advice?

OOS applicant, from one of the top schools in my state (nationally recognized school)
old SAT: 1480
new SAT: 1420
ACT: 33 composite
GPA: 3.6/3.7
SAT ii math 2: 640 (yeah… pretty bad)
SAT Lit: 730

I do FRC robotics, organize a hackathon, and am founder of my school’s SWE club. I also volunteer (coach two elementary school teams, red cross, and volunteer counselor).

I’m looking into Engineering CS for my 1st choice major and a CS+X for my second choice major.
I feel as if my math grades may bring down my chances of getting into the engineering school (have one 75 in math, but my overall math gpa is in the low 90s/high 80s).

Should I apply for just a CS+X program instead of as a 2nd choice major? Or leave it as is? I’m confident I have a good chance of getting in if I only put a CS+X major, but I’m not sure anymore if I have an Engineering CS spot as well.

Thanks!

what is CS+X

They’re sorta like combined majors- stuff like CS + Linguistics, CS + Math, etc. A few schools have them, like uiuc and Stanford.
