So far I’m looking into these schools:
Match/Safety: UMD
Reaches: UPenn, Columbia, Duke, MIT
Any other suggested schools would be great too although I would prefer to stay on the east coast. My ECs are pretty weak but I think everything else is solidish. UMD has a great CS program + instate tuition + honors college (if I get accepted) and I love the campus but I’m applying to higher up schools to see how far I could go. Dream school would be UPenn though.
