<p>Privates: Rose Hulman, RPI, Case Western, Bucknell, Lehigh</p>

<p>Publics: your local state university, VA Tech, Purdue, Co School of Mines</p>

<p>In CA I would recommend San Jose State as a match and a good choice.</p>

3

<p>Thanks. Would the privates you listed be considered matches?</p>

4

<p>Yes, or maybe low reaches. Your SAT needs to be about 150 points higher for Bucknell and Lehigh, but the hooks might help with that.</p>

5

<p>Other than Purdue and VA Tech, can anyone recommend some safety schools?</p>

6

<p>Since money isn’t a concern and you’re Hispanic…I think Santa Clara would love you…and great for CS majors.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Are you going to test again? you should…and take the ACT as well …you may do better on it.</p>

7

<p>What is your state?</p>

<p>I’d check out UMass and SUNY Stony Brook.</p>

8

<p>The OP’s info says that he’s from Connecticut.</p>

9

<p>What is your math SAT? I think it matters a lot if your intended major is computer science.</p>

<p>Recirculating this thread to see if anyone else will respond.</p>

<p>Did you see CRD’s question about your math SAT score?</p>
