How can I differentiate between schools that are between Safety and Fit for computer science

Washington State. I am crossing every toe, finger, and hair that I get into UW CS as a freshmen admit… However the acceptance rate is quite low for that program. Otherwise I just cant stomach having to try to be the 33% that gets admitted to CS every semester, especially when choosing over other schools.

And I have run NPC’s and we have gotten out the numbers.
