<p>Hi, I'm an entering senior looking to apply to universities with good computer science departments. So far I have what I believe is a pretty comprehensive list, and if anyone could chance me for the below universities that would be great!</p>
<hr>
<p>-Cal Poly SLO
-Case Western Reserve University
-U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
-U o Maryland College Park
-U of Michigan
-UMass Amherst
-Purdue
-U of Wisconsin Madison</p>
<h2>-The Ohio State University</h2>
<p>My stats are:
33 ACT (35 math)
4.20 W GPA, 3.52 U/W</p>
<p>State: Illinois</p>
<p>AP Tests:</p>
<p>Calc BC/AB: 4
Comp Sci A: 4
English Lit & Comp: 5</p>
<h2>APUSH: 4</h2>
<p>Once again, any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance! </p>
<p>All matches or high matches </p>
<p>Any extracurriculars?</p>
<p>@blackcops22 Sorry this is 5 days after your post. I’ve been the captain of the robotics club for 1 year (will be 2 by the time I graduate) and I’ve been a team captain for the 2 years before that. I spend most of my extracurricular time doing that (10ish hours a week) but I’ll also have 2 years the Mock Trial team and 2 years working stage crew.</p>
<p>I think you would be matches for all universities</p>
<p>@blackcops22 Thanks for the input! In that case should I look for one school that is a definite safety just to be careful?</p>
<p>University of Alabama would be a safety, and it would also offer you full tuition and a $2,500 annual stipend as a Computer Science major with your stats. There is a separate forum with a lot of information that you can consult on CC. You might also want to add NC State as a safety.</p>
<p>Your chances are better if your 3.52 is comprised of all As and Bs (no Cs) and your better grades are in your Math and Science classes.</p>
<p>My son has similar stats (but a NY resident), and the advice we’ve been given is as follows:</p>
<p>-Cal Poly SLO - Match
-Case Western Reserve University - Match
-U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - Reach for OOS
-U o Maryland College Park - High Match/Low Reach
-U of Michigan - High Match/Low Reach
-UMass Amherst - Match/Safety
-Purdue - Match/Safety
-U of Wisconsin Madison - High Match
-The Ohio State University - Match</p>
<p>Yes, it is always great to have safeties because if you can’t get into your dream school. Then you’re going to be undecided on decision day and if you cant make a decision, then off to community college to get a degree in something you never want to do. So it is best to always have safeties</p>
