Help me with a final college list

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Right now am currently a high school junior with the following stats:
SAT: 680 CR, 800 writing, 800 math (will retake for a higher CR score; hopefully 700+)
SAT II: 800 math II, will take US history and chem in june</p>

<p>GPA: 3.85 UW
very competitive high school in MA (does not rank as a result)
asian male in MA looking to be a comp sci major (yah, yah, i don't care that it's stereotypical)
don't feel like writing out EC's yet</p>

<p>Current List:
Cornell (#1 favorite; maybe ED)
CMU (my dad went there for ECE)
Columbia
UPenn
MIT (for the lulz)
UIllinois
UMich</p>

<p>do you have any suggestions to what colleges I should add? I would like an undergraduate size of 4000+ (no LACs), but I don't mind big public schools. city and country are both fine. but I also would like a college not too far away from home (preferably no farther away than UMich or UIllinois)</p>

<p>Lehigh?..Boston Univ.?</p>

3

<p>Brown?</p>

<p>Is money no object?</p>

4

<p>Look at UW-Madison and Maryland for CS. Nice to be a legacy for CMU. </p>

<p>Why take the SAT over if you have 2 800? That is petty and a waste of your time. 20 or 50 pts won’t change your profile. Why not take an equivalent SAT II?</p>

5

<p>If you don’t feel like writing out ECs, you need to delete Columbia, MIT and Upenn in the list.</p>

6

<p>Maybe Case Western (OH/good with merit money) and RPI (NY). Best of luck!</p>

7

<p>Brown? About the right size, maybe not excellent in comp sci, but they might give you more of a shot for that reason, and it’s Ivy. And yeah, Cornell is perfect for you.</p>
