<p>My extracurricular’s are pretty good, it’s my stats I’m really worried about (especially gpa), and computer science is pretty competitive there. Plus, I got 2 C’s last semester, in AP Lang and AP Physics.</p>
<p>@JZ - sorry to be blunt but you have nearly no chance with that GPA/SAT, and none if you’re not a URM. Also you shouldn’t derail other people’s chance threads.</p>
<p>As for OP, you have fair chances for MCS espeially if you’re applying ED. Hopefully your SAT I math was good (750+ at least).</p>
