<p>I’m probably not helpful but your geographic location might help and your URM status.
I think these schools are reaches but not impossible for you to get into. You have a low ACT and your GPA is not the highest. Those certifications show your interest in comp sci and that will definitely help you. AA Women in STEM majors are highly coveted. I think the associate’s degree will look good to colleges too. Your ECs aren’t spectacular but I wouldn’t add more unless they are related to comp sci. Join the comp sci club in your school. If you don’t have one, found one. Colleges love that!</p>
<p>Columbia - Reach
Berkeley- Reach
USC- low reach/ high target.
Don’t know much about Cal-Tech</p>
<p>Good luck in all of your endeavors!
