<p>MIT: low-high reach, especially with that ACT. I can’t pick because you are a black girl of all things, so they’ll be more likely to take you</p>

<p>Brown: also low- high reach, but still, your ACT is lacking for those schools. A 30 is really sub par.</p>

<p>University of Minnesota: In</p>

<p>If you can raise your ACT and write some awesome essays, you’ll be in, I think</p>

<p>I can easily say you’ll get into the U of MN. My friend just got accepted with a 29 act and worse profile than yours… and it’s only October</p>

<p>For UMN, have you submitted the application already? Did you get the Golden Gopher Application? If you have not done so, submit it as soon as possible. They have already announced the acceptance to some students already.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks for the replies so far! Yes, I submitted my U of M TC application in September and just received scholarship notification but not admission yet. Any other good schools for computer science that you would recommend?</p>
