Good CS schools for a B student

<p>I have a 3.01 (hopefully will be 3.1 by semester's end) GPA, 1320/1600 SATs. I would like to transfer from a community college to a traditional four-year to get a Comp Sci or Info Sci Bachelors.</p>

<p>I'd like to go to a New England school. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>CollegeBoard’s site will allow you to put in your stats, your interests (major, location, size, etc.) and it will produce a list of schools.</p>

<p>OTOH, since your plan is to start at CC, I’d start by looking at your state schools and see what their articulation agreements are with the local community colleges. Some 4-year schools have better agreements with some community colleges than with others. Even if you want to transfer OOS, if an in-state U has an articulation agreement with a CC, that shows that someone “approves” the CC.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Not in New England, but a 3.0 community college freshman/sophomore GPA was enough to transfer to San Jose State computer science last year (though if it gets more popular, the threshold may rise). For the similar software engineering major, the threshold was only a 2.0 (2.4 for out of state).</p>

<p>GeekMom63, I’ve done that but I have no idea how to narrow down the list or what kind of chances I’d have at the three I’ve picked (I’d like to find 2-3 more).</p>

<p>So far, I have Suffolk, Ithaca, and St Mary’s. The latter is my dream school; it seems reachy but my GC thinks I have a chance.</p>

<p>Edit: I’m a female CS student into skiing and archery; hopefully that’ll improve my chances.</p>

<p>Edit 2: Wow, SJSU is gorgeous.</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about transfer credits or New England. I think it just takes a lot of tedious digging. :frowning: Specifically, for the articulation agreements, it will probably require phone calls and/or emails, but you don’t want to neglect this step or you could regret it in two years.</p>

<p>RIT or WPI</p>

<p>Why those two? Also, WPI’s GPA distribution on CollegeBoard.com is out of my league. Did you mean WSU?</p>
