<p>^^^Yes, and UMass Amherst and UMass Lowell are particularly strong in engineering and CS. Do check them out. In addition to being admitted to the honors college, you will likely get significant merit aid especially from UMass Lowell.</p>

<p>In a different thread OP said the low GPA comes from 9th and 10th grade math grades of C-. I believe OP is a rising junior, so that’s all the HS math he has.</p>
<p>Also recommend UWashington, UMaryland, Penn State and UTexas. </p>
<p>I am a current student at UMaryland and we have a respectable Comp Sci program as well as a good engineering program, so I can vouch for it.</p>
<p>@calla I posted my lower scores just to see worst case scenarios.
Thanks for the advice guys. I’ll add umass Amherst to my safeties. As of joy my application I’d to just get accepted to my ed Cornell, if not one of the prestigious schools.</p>
<p>I’m also a Massachusetts student interested in Comp Sci. I plan on applying UMass Amherst, WPI, RPI, Northeastern (paid co-ops and possible merit aid), UMaryland, University of Illinois (very good Comp Sci program), and maybe Villanova for my safties/matches. You should look into those schools.</p>
<p>I agree with others that you should decrease the amount of reach schools you are applying to. You should have good reasons as to why you are applying to all of those schools other than just because they are prestigious. To be honest, less prestigious schools such as UIllinois, UMichigan, UTexas, and Georgia Tech have better Engineering/Computer Science departments than do Tufts, Vanderbilt, Duke, Wesleyan, WUSTL, and Johns Hopkins (with the exception of Biomedical).</p>
<p>Holy Cross has computer science major.</p>
