<p>PS: AP scores for senior year are what I’m projecting them to be! Sorry for any confusion.</p>

3

<p>Hard to say. Any other extracurriculars? Have you done anything else programming-related (USACO, web/app development)?</p>

4

<p>Yes. I am an avid programmer of over 8 years. I create games in C++ and with a game engine I built myself. I’m currently working on that will soon be published to steam.</p>

5

<p>On a game*. On my phone at the moment so auto correct is getting me.</p>

<p>Without other extracurriculars related to math/cs its hard to tell, and the others are rather standard. If youre someone like me that just likes CS for the learning and not necessary all those formal creds then hopefully you will be okay because that means i might be too xD</p>

<p>MIT - reach
stanford - reach
caltech - reach
UT austin - low match
GA tech - low match</p>

<p>if you like CS maybe also consider carnegie mellon?</p>

<p>chance back if you want! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1555571-chance-me-ill-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1555571-chance-me-ill-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yeah, OP, I would definitely look into Carnegie mellon and UCB as those look like the best schools that are matches for you. From what I’ve heard, CMU and Berkeley don’t have the type of applicant pool that lets them reject people like you. In other words, they mostly look at scores which you seem to have. Both are in a four-way tie with MIT and Stanford for best in Computer Science.</p>
