good computer science programs for above average student?

@privatebanker I guess “above average” is relative. Above average compared to all students taking the SAT? Above average for all college bound students? Above average for students applying to a specific college? Since the OP is looking for suggestions for schools I would think the latter is what would matter. My suggestion would be to use Naviance, if available, to see what the average SAT score for kids from your school applying to specific schools is. At my kids high school the average SAT score for kids applying to UT (our state flagship) is 1384 not all of these kids get in and not all that apply to comp sci get into that major. Often comp sci majors have higher requirements than general admission to a university.

So from my subjective perspective a 1270 SAT is closer to average than above average.
