<p>I think if you get good SAT’s and ACT’s then you have a good shot at some of them. However this is what most peoples applications looks like, so you should do something different that shows your passion for computer science like create an organization or business…something like that.</p>

<p>chance back?

<p>In all fairness, the schools you’ve listed have reputations for being largely turbulent in the admission’s process. Without SAT scores, it’s also a bit premature to tell your chances. Your grades and course rigor are great though. Your ecs are good too, but anyone who has a chance a of being accepted to those universities has great ecs. Being a urm will be a great hook though.</p>

<p>Bump… Any other recommendations?</p>

<p>Any thoughts? Please</p>

<p>With good SATs/ACTs, I’d say:</p>

<p>HYPS: High Reach
MIT: Mid-High Reach
Carnegie Mellon: High Match to Low Reach
CalTech: Mid Reach
Columbia: Mid-High Reach
Cambridge: Not sure. Mid Reach?
Cornell: Low Reach
RPI: Not sure at all.</p>
