I was wondering what are my chances for the Universities, and I really appreciate your responses :slight_smile:

Do you need financial aid? If so cross UCB and CMU off your list.

If not then you stand a good chance at UCB and CMU. Harvard and MIT are crap shoots for almost everyone.

Thank you very much @sgopal2 . I really appreciate your response:)

You’re a great applicant. EC’s, GPA thing, and test scores are great. Work on those essays because that will be the deciding factor. Start early like next summer. Also have you thought about Stanford they also have a great computer science program? I would suggest going ED/EA/SCEA to your top school to give you a little bit of an edge.
