I’m wondering what my chances are at the colleges I’m applying to for Computer Science are. Computer Science is always different from regular chances so I’m looking for any help even if you can’t answer for all of them. Thanks so much!

stanford, brown, upenn, rice may be high reaches

cmu, nu- reach

the rest seem like target or safeties

With your stats, the final three schools on your list are matches (with Santa Clara edging towards safety).

The remainder are reaches (including CMU for CompSci), but your record gives you an above-average chance at each of them–though, given the incredibly low acceptance rates at schools like Stanford and Brown, that is still not a high chance.

Nevertheless, I would guess that you’ll get into at least one of your reach schools.
