<p>Hi! I'm looking to go to a college and major in Computer Science. I'll list my info below, but basically I want to know how well I'm matching with the schools I'm applying to. I'd like to go to a smaller college, where I can get to know the professors and classmates better. I have a suspicion that I might be shooting too low, but then again, I could be entirely wrong. Or maybe there's no such thing as too low - I'll be able to get out of a college what I put into it.</p>
<p>Anyway, here's info about me:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.9
Top 5% of class
SAT 1: Reading 720, Math 740, Writing 750
SAT 2: Literature 730, Math 1 730, Physics 710, Math 2 750
AP: Physics C 4, Computer Science A 5, Psychology 5</p>
<p>National Honor Society
French Honor Society
National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist (~90% go on to be finalists)</p>
<p>AP course I'm taking this year: Calculus BC, English Literature, Physics C (two exams), and Economics</p>
<p>Colleges I'm going to apply to:</p>
<p>Pace University
Lehigh University
CUNY Queens College
SUNY Binghamton University
SUNY New Paltz University
Polytechnic University</p>
<p>IDK if I should apply to MIT and CMU, because those seem to be two big-name CS schools, but at the same time I'm more interested in the quality of education, not the prestige. And low-competition is good too. I don't want to go to a highly competitive college where people stab each other in the back for opportunities.</p>
<p>If I need to post more information, just let me know what.</p>
