=-= Decent Chance!!! It will be better if you do well in this mid-term and improve your GPA

You have a great chance for Purdue and Ohio State University; your GPA is towards the lower end of the middle 50% but the test scores definitely do make up for the GPA.

Regardless if you’re instate for Georgia Tech or not, GT is most likely a dream school for you. I know plenty of instate kids who applied as computer science majors for GT (they all had amazing ECs, straight 4.0 UW/4.5 W, good recs) and many of them got deferred at first. Additionally, many of them took up to 12-15 AP classes by the end of senior year (I went to a magnet/STEM high school with them) and still got deferred.

I’m not completely sure about the other colleges.

Wish you the best of luck!

Thank you.

I don’t think I’d be a good judge of whether you’d get into Purdue or not, but (assuming you’re a junior and are applying next year,) I think I can give some college recommendations for computer science! I’d recommend the University of Washington, UCI, UT Austin, and maybe UCSD!
