<p>What would be some of my top choices for computer science schools if I have a:</p>
<ul>
<li>3.55 GPA / 1750 SAT</li>
<li>3.6-3.65 GPA / 1800 SAT</li>
</ul>
<p>The first bullet is my current stats, and the second is what I hope to bring them up to by the end of this year (I'm a junior). Any suggestions for good schools for both of those sets of marks?</p>
<p>where do you have residency?</p>
<p>Those two SAT scores aren’t really distinguishable. There are an awful lot of colleges where you can get a good CS education.</p>
<p>What is your state? How much can your parents pay? </p>
<p>Please read <a href=“Before you ask which colleges to apply to, please consider - College Search & Selection - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1621234-before-you-ask-which-colleges-to-apply-to-please-consider.html</a> , particularly point 1.</p>
<p>Much will depend on how much your parents will pay. That will largely determine where you should apply. With your stats, you won’t likely get accepted into a school that has very good financial aid. However, if your parents will pay for all of your education, then you’ll have more choices. </p>
<p>If you don’t know how much your parents will pay, ask them. That’s important info.</p>
<p>I am so sick of this website. I’m sick of parents like you belittling people. Why does everything have to be so ridiculously and stupidly competitive in this country to get into colleges? Everyone here has a stick up their butt thinking that only kids with 4.0s or 3.9s can get in places. Well I have news for you, lady! I am applying to places as a transfer right now but I had very similar stats to this young man (or woman, not sure) and I got into some LOVELY colleges (within top 50 and higher) with really good financial aid. Earth to mother, 1750 or 1800 is near the 80th percentile of test takers! Is highly above average suddenly the new average? What is it with the website? I hate how parents on this website are either A) Bitter their boring child didn’t get into their choice of school and thus need to belittle other students or B) Crazy tiger parents who think that everything is some competitive do or die thing. IT’S JUST COLLEGE. THAT’S IT. End rant.</p>
<p>And OP, you’ll get into some great places 
I suggest SUNY Binghamton, they have a great program for computer science and you would fit in great!</p>
<p>Depends on what you’re willing to pay and your location. If cost is a factor, what’s your state?</p>
<p>Anyways, assuming you’re in the east coast, look at the SUNY system (Binghampton, Stony Brook etc). Also look into:</p>
<p>UMass Amherst (you may be able to land an 8k/year scholarship there if you’re lucky)
U of Maryland
Penn State
Rutgers etc. </p>
<p>These are all state schools though, so they may be expensive for you if you’re OOS. They’re all great colleges on the east coast for CS (not sure where you should apply if you’re in the midwest/west/south).</p>
<p>@Clarimodest, what brought about that rant? I don’t see anyone belittling the OP. All I’ve seen so far are questions about affordability and home state - all important questions so the OP doesn’t apply to a poor selection of schools.</p>
