I think your Ec’s and scores are competitive for CMU ,but it’s very tough getting into the computer science program, almost a reach for everyone. I think you have a solid shot though.

JHU-reach
Vandy-reach
WUSTL-low reach
USC- high match
UCB- low reach for CS
UCLA-match
UCSD-low match
I dont know much about RPI and Purdue

While i think you have a fair shot. Agree to jorgelorenzo. CMU CS is almost a reach for everyone who are not that obviously and definitely qualified…

Cheers bro! Your scores and ECs definitely meet CMU`s standard. As you have submitted your application, all you need is waiting and a bit of luck.
