I’m going to be a senior in a high school in California. I have a 3.7 unweighted GPA and a 4.2 weighted GPA, and have taken and passed all 7 AP classes with a large number of honors classes as well (I am going to take 4 more AP’s this year for a total of 11). My SAT score is 1490, and my superscore is a 1520. I have a 34 on the ACT. My class rank is 27 out of 855. I have gone to school in multiple countries (which is what a few of my college app essays will be about). My extracurriculars include:

Varsity Basketball (9th-12th grade)
National Honors Society (10th-12th grade; board position in the biggest club at our school)
Cool 2 Be Kind (10th-12th grade; club to raise awareness against bullying).
Tutoring (11th-12th grade)
Basketball coach/ trainer (10-11th grade)
100+ hours of community service
Volunteering at Kaiser Hospital
Volunteering at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center
Peer College Counselor- helping educate students at my 4000+ student school on what to do to get into college and their possibilities.

Can you please recommend some safety schools/ match schools with good computer science programs, or integrated (engineering and business) programs?

Thank You.

@privatebanker, OP has posted the same thread in 3 different forums and I have given them some suggestions for California schools. Perhaps OP is looking for CS schools outside of California?

Ok. Sorry.

Thank you so much @Gumbymom ! Sorry about the multiple posts, I am very new to cc. If possible, can you recommend any CS schools outside of California as well?

Safety schools are first and foremost affordable, so what is your college budget?

I would suggest Arizona State as a good option. Your stats can get you some merit aid.

I would also look at the WUE schools where you are given a reduced tuition for the Western universities that participate in the program. I have given you a link to look at but make sure CS is not an excluded major at any schools of interest.

Always run the Net price calculator on the schools.
