<p>i think you have a fairely good chance at wash u and uchicago. if youre not a senior, then you should take a lot of honors credit courses and up your gpa.</p>

<p>i'm a rising senior so I don't really have time to up the gpa. I also forgot about my IT job, which is nice cause it's major related</p>

<p>A caution with UChicago... it's a very intensive liberal arts enivronment, completely different from the engineering environments of UIUC, Cornell, and WashU. Are you looking for that in a school?</p>

<p>(Other schools to consider for CS: Carnegie Mellon, Michigan, Purdue)</p>
