Thanks, it looks like a lot of people have been recommending that, I’ll be sure to do that asap 
I got 740 Math and 800 CR. I know those stats seem like they should be reversed given the major I’m going for, but what can I say, I’ve always found CR easy whereas I enjoy the challenge I find in math.
Thanks, will do. I would like to keep some of the schools that I liked best but I can certainly change some of them to balance out my list.
I’d definitely keep Pitt as a safety (assuming they are affordable, but being in state they are less expensive than many others).
With CS you’ll have to decide what you want. Many kids like CMU, but they tend to be not-so-good with aid. You could also look at RIT or similar places that do a co-op with their degree. Many of our CS students like that and get decent jobs afterward. Again though, they aren’t as good with the aid as other schools, so it would depend upon what is affordable for your family.

Honestly, I think that can be a real plus for you. In my years of corporate life, the most successful individuals I’ve known with a CS background have been those who can communicate effectively both orally and in written form. That will serve you well!
I was actually looking into RIT earlier today, seems like a pretty good candidate imo, and when I visited Drexel they made a point of telling us how we would earn a fair amount of money through co-ops which would help balance out the fact that they provide less financial aid. I’m not sure whether that is true or just them telling us what we wanted to hear, but co-ops definitely intrigue me regardless.
Northeastern has the same coop angle working for it.
I don’t know how many people will come back to this post, but I just want to say thanks for all the advice, even some of the more negative points have been really constructive and helpful to me! I feel like I’ve learned more about the application process just from this post than from all the other resources I’ve used combined, which maybe just goes to show that I’ve got a lot to do between now and application deadlines, but I feel much more well-informed thanks to all of your responses 
OP, do look at Univ of AL. ABET accredited. Great Honors College. You would be among a lot of high stat students as well as a lot from OOS including your neck of the woods. UA is the fastest growing flagship in the country for a variety of reasons - one is OOS students/families are ‘finding it’.
You would have full tuition scholarship plus $2500/year engineering scholarship. DD is a student there, and it is giving her a great education (she has these scholarships). She is also taking advantage of STEM MBA honors program.

Wow that STEM MBA honors program sounds very interesting to me, my second choice for a major is Economics, so maybe that program would allow me to pursue CS and Economics. Thanks for the info, will definitely look into UA!
I’d pick Northeastern, UCincinnati, and RIT over Drexel, because of cost - all offer Co ops but their financial aid isn’t as bad as Drexel 's. (You should apply before December at Cincinnati, as the Cincinatus scholarship is one you have a good shot at.)
Note that lots of schools offer formalized co-ops (at least for engineering majors), even if their curricula is not based on the assumption that students will do co-ops (like Northeastern, Cincinnati, or Drexel).
Even in the absence of a formalized co-op, many schools have withdrawal and readmission policies that may allow a student to take a semester off as an informal co-op. (However, one should check how scholarships and financial aid are handled in that case.)
Your SAT scores are very high. You don’t seem to want to go out west. You should drop American, Boston U, Drexel, Haverford, Lafayette, and Swarthmore from your list because they don’t fit your goals and some are second tier schools. You should add Cornell, Princeton, MIT, RPI, U of Illinois, and U of Maryland. If you want to look out west, consider Stanford, Berkeley, Rice.
Haverford does very well with CS majors actually.
Not sure why collegehelp suggests dropping those particular schools - Lafayette for example has computer engineering and your stats make it a low reach/likely, maybe even with some money. Not a coop school per se but they are really big on matching up kids with good, paying internships - it’s their big push right now.
I’ve never thought of Texas as “out west.” Is that wrong?
