<p>I am basically looking for a private school on the east coast with a medium sized student body, location in terms of urban/rural etc doesnt matter as long as its on the east coast, a school that is especially strong in computer science.
I don't need FA, but merit would be nice. I am looking for a match/reach for me.</p>
<p>My stats:
90/100 UW</p>
<p>SAT: 660 M/640 CR/590 Wr</p>
<p>28 ACT</p>
<p>Bump it up</p>
<p>For you, I’d say look at:
CMU
UVA
Virginia Tech
William and Mary</p>
<p>If you had higher scores, I would also say MIT, Harvard, Princeton, and possibly Cornell or UPenn.</p>
<p>Those schools all have well known computer science programs.</p>
<p>The best resource for schools by far is Rugg’s List, which lists the best colleges in every major you could think of. I think they might have a website, but I bought the book.</p>
<p>Another list of good computer science schools is here:
[GRE</a> Guide - Computer Science Rankings](<a href=“http://www.greguide.com/comps.html]GRE”>University Rankings - Computer Science)</p>
<p>I was looking at CMU, but i think its too high of a reach, just like UVA, W&M and VT is a match, but its too big for me, i think CMU would be great but it would be way top hard.</p>
<p>What about Maryland/college park or Penn State?</p>
<p>Theyre way too big for me, im looking for a mid size private u</p>
<p>MPD14, you are right. CMU School of Computer Science is probable is high reach for you. For medium sized school in the east coast, may I suggest
Reach:
Brandeis, Rochester, SUNY Binghamton, and Rensselaer
Match:
Vermont, Union, Steven Institute of technology, American, Clark, Fordham, temple and Syracuse.</p>
<p>Hope this will help. :)</p>
