Aiming for Stanford (I know, I know), Cornell, Dartmouth, UW, Carnegie Mellon for CS. What are my chances? Where should I apply Early Decision (all except UW are restrictive)?
This is a very reach heavy list, even for someone with your stats.
You should apply ED at the school that is your top choice and is affordable. No one can tell you where that is but you!
Just as an observation, this seems like a strange list to me. Dartmouth has zero in common with Carnegie Mellon in terms of campus, feel, etc… Don’t apply to schools just based on prestige. Think about what you want in terms of campus life/feel too.
What schools would you recommend I apply to for CS?
