Safety schools help?

<p>For computer science with a 2100 SAT score, good match schools include Lafayette, Lehigh, and Bucknell. A low reach that you have a very good shot at is USC. If you don’t mind an imbalance between men and women you should look at the tech schools like Rose Hulman, Case Western (a safety), RPI, GaTech, Rochester Inst of Tech, VaTech. Good reaches to consider: Harvey Mudd, Rice, Cornell, Northwestern. The very best two CS schools are MIT and CMU, but very difficult to get into for CS. Both send lots of students off to Microsoft and Google every year and both have lots of research opportunities for students who want to continue to graduate school in CS. Of course, there are many more good schools like Stanford and Princeton, but with a 2100 they will be out of reach unless you are an athlete or have something else special on your application. You probably have your best shot at Rice, Cornell and HM and those will be reaches. You have to choose one that you really love and show them that you love them in order to have a chance. Visit, call the admissions office, ask lots of questions about the program, talk to professors, explain why you like the school.</p>
