<p>Honestly, SCS is a high reach. It’s getting harder each successive year–this year it rejected some who were accepted by MIT. I’d say MCS is a low reach, although applying early could very possibly swing you in.</p>
<p>Apply to some match schools–for engineering look at RPI, Case Western, Georgia Tech, Illinois@Urbana Champaign, WPI. (Look into FIRST scholarships for these.)</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
