These “chances” questions always trouble me because the correct answer should always be given (and interpreted) in a problematic format. You are able to do well at any schools you attend as long as you are comfortable, but not complacent, with your daily classroom/activity routine.

  1. If you are an out of state resident and are looking for a CS major, Georgia Tech, UMass Amherst, Purdue, University of Washington (Seattle), University of Michigan, and UW Madison are all 50/50 or less. If you are a resident in the respective state, you are very likely to be admitted.
  2. Don't know enough about the International Relations applicant pool to make an educated guess. Because of the quality of their programs, I am surprised that Georgetown University and Tufts are not on your International Relations list. If you have not yet done so, you may want to find out what happens in any of these schools if you decide you want to change majors. In some schools you can and in others you cannot.
  3. You are probably admitted at WPI, BU, BC, and Northeastern unless it becomes clear to them from the application process that your interest is less than solid. All schools want to know that students really put an effort into the process of selecting their program, even if they may not be your first first choice. Your best friend is the friend who loves you back!

I am a WPI alumnus who was there during the early days of the WPI Plan. Uncle Sam had already immersed me in a foreign language in a foreign land with foreign food (calf brains anyone?) for one year. My job was relations with the Germans. Lived alone on the German economy with no military base and no one was shooting at me. There is nothing like total immersion. Given my unbridled enthusiasm, I could see you as a CS major taking full advantage of the IQP on an overseas project. See: https://www.wpi.edu/academics/undergraduate/interactive-qualifying-project This is how you learn about people and culture. This will make you a better computer scientist.

UMich is a reach, especially OOS, but still possible. I don’t know how hard UW-Seattle is for CS but I’ve heard it’s pretty competitive. You should definitely be able to get into Northeastern because I got in there (not CS) and personally know two people who attend the school for CS with good scholarships and Honors program and they weren’t much better applicants than you. Georgia Tech should be likely as you’re applying as an IR major rather than a STEM major. Don’t know about the other schools.
