Your SAT score (2020) is the major concern.
It would’ve been good if you have taken SAT II Math 2 and another math-related subject test.

Percentages represent the likelihood of you being accepted.

Purdue - 90% (I think you can get in easily)
UIUC - 40% (Average acceptance rate for computer science major is sub-10% these days. It is getting harder, too.)
Georgia Tech - 30% (Georgia Tech is getting very hard too these days. It is nearly behind Carnegie Mellon/Harvard/MIT when it comes to computer science, so it is getting very competitive.)
UCLA - 40%
UCSD - ? (Don’t know much about UCSD, but I heard that it’s a good CS school, too.)

What do you think about these colleges that are reputed for computer science and are match/low reach schools for you?:

The Ohio State University (Rolling)
Virginia Tech (ED)
University of Maryland – College Park
University of Washington – Seattle (RD)
University of Wisconsin – Madison (EA)
University of Massachusetts – Amherst (EA)
University of Virginia (EA)

Thanks for the comprehensive answer!

Yes i have taken my SAT II math 2 earlier this month. I’m expecting anywhere between 730 and 800. Definitely nothing lower. How much of a difference will my good score in the SAT II math make to my application?
