My senior trying to decide on Computer Science/Forensics program at U of Nebraska, Iowa State, or Texas Tech. Anyone have input? Shes an underachiever for GPA but great ACT score. We live in CA but UC schools impossible. Thanks!
What GPA and ACT score?
CSUs of interest?
2.9 gpa, 29 ACT, she likes Chico but thinks the other schools will have a better program.
It pains me to say it (football rivalry) but Nebraska is a pretty nice school. Iowa State too. They are both a nice size (10,000+) and offer nice aid for OOS students.
Thank you for your input, if she could get into any of the UC school’s it would be a no brainer.
She should apply to a range of schools. Once the acceptances and finical aid information comes in then you can decide.
I have one kid at Iowa State and one kid at Nebraska. It is easy to know it you will get in at Iowa State. There is no guessing because they use your stats to get a RAI score to determine admissions. Here’s the link.

Hope that helps. Neither of my kids are in the programs you mention so I am afraid I can’t be much help with that.
