You’re looking great for Ohio State, Purdue, and U Cincinnati.

The rest are very far reaches. (Welcome to the 3.6 GPA club…) Focus on your grades and try to improve your GPA while you still can.

Are you showing a positive trend from a poor Freshman/Sophomore year?

Do you have any CS/engineering related activities?

I would also recommend you expand your search. In my opinion you’re competitive enough to potentially land a decent match school that is strong in Computer Science. Consider the UC system: UCSB, UCSD, and others if they are to your liking. Also check out UIUC. Best of luck!

***Edit because I am still operating on sleep that was partially stolen from me by the ridiculous event known as daylight savings time.

My grades have been consistent throughout high school. Also, is there a difference ,in terms of admission, if I apply to LSA computer science at Umich vs CoE?

Perhaps @Alexandre can comment further, but here the super moderator claims that the CoE and LSA are “roughly” equally selective.

I also came upon University of Washington’s computer science program. Do I even have a chance at making it into that program??

My parents want me to apply to Cornell ED. Do I even have a chance??
