Computer Science @BurgerMan1
You have a chance. I had a similar GPA (but a very strong upward progression) and ACT score and got into Purdue with good scholarships, so I would presume you could do the same.
I was in-state though, so I do not know if that plays a role in our comparisons. But you have a good chance in my opinion.
And what about a major in Biology? @BurgerMan1
I don’t usually do this but I’ll put my 2 cents in. Purdue is a good match for you. Apply early (as in before the end of 2016) for best consideration and by November 1 for scholarship consideration. Purdue has both Computer Science (within the College of Science) and Computer Engineering (within the College of Engineering). One is more heavily into programming the other into computer hardware. Both are popular and as the majors fill it becomes more difficult to be accepted.
From what I remember, CS was at full capacity. Biology was not. From that, it sounds like Biology is less competitive than CS.
I am a freshman in Fall 2016. I haven’t got my hall decision yet. I’m nervous now. Could you please help me.
