<p>Chance me for CompSci?
I'm an asian male applying for compsci at Stanford, UIUC, Cornell, and Carnegie Mellon (maybe CIT or Berkeley? or UChicago for physics/math or econ) and I'm not really sure where else to apply to for compsci (looking for scholarships). I may possibly apply for another major like physics or math. 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.

Very active in local church, served as small group leader two years and worship team member 4 years.
Band for 3 years (didn't take it senior year).
Currently tutor students in free time (mostly math).
Joined math team this year.
Rec letter from math teacher will likely be strong as I did very well in her class (Calculus BC).
Played piano for a number of years and passed the Piano ISMTA Level IX test.
Reffed soccer for local soccer league for 2/3 years and worked last summer as a teacher's assistant for the StarTalk program, a program by the government targeted for helping students learn Chinese.

I have above average writing skills but not amazing or anything so I can crank out a decent essay. I also live in Illinois btw. Thanks</p>

<p>Stanford requires you to submit ALL the ACTs - so you need to send in both.
UIUC: low match -match
Stanford: reach
Cornell: low reach - reach
CMU: high match</p>

<p>How about my chances for Northwestern and UChicago? Both regular decieions</p>

5

<p>send in the second ACT, since you are majoring in computer science.</p>

6

<p>i think most colleges require the writing portion though. Any chance for me at Northwestern (econ) or UChicago (physics or math)?</p>

7

<p>Just wanted to say that CMU is not a match for you if you are applying to its school of Computer Science. I’d say High Reach.</p>

8

<p>Worst case scenerio: you end up at UIUC , suggest you add RPI, Case Western Reserve and possibly Union College as relative safeties.</p>

9

<p>I don’t know much, but I would say CMU is no match if he’s applying as a cs major, try reach?</p>
