Wow you’re a great applicant :slight_smile: These are tough schools to get into but I think you’re very qualified. Of those on your list, I would say you have the best chance at UCLA, Cal, Cornell, and CMU. The others are definitely possible, but they’re hard to predict. Good luck to you! And I’m sorry to hear about your mom.

Hey–

Sorry to hear about your mother, I went through a similar situation. As for chances, I will try to part any wisdom I may have ( or think I have.)

I think you have a viable chance at CMU, Cornell, UCB, and UCLA. I say this because these schools, depending on the program, value CompSci proficiency. While many applicants are proficient in many compsci languages, I think you have some uniqueness in that regard, mainly due to your non-profit and hackathon stuff.

On another note, dammmn 16 APs wow.

Chance back?

Would you be considered an international applicant?

About being an international applicant, I actually fall under the pseudo category. Like I was born un US, but I did half of my high school in India. So, they most likely will consider my Indian apps and also my US apps

Also, I want to major in Statistics
