What are my chances of getting into UChicago & UPenn computer science programs.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I just took my GRE, and it was okay. Not really that great. What do you think are my chances of getting into UChicago computer science program and UPenn MCIT program. My major is journalism, and these programs are geared toward non-majors trying to do a switch into computer science. Here are my stats. </p>

<ul>
<li>Overall GPA: 3.8</li>
<li>GRE Verbal: 158</li>
<li>GRE Quant: 154</li>
<li>Two programming courses (one was a basic JavaScript course, another C programming)</li>
<li>Experience with web design and WordPress and basic PHP. </li>
</ul>

<p>Does anyone have experience with similar grades or experience with these schools? Do you think I have a shot?</p>

<p>I would think they’d want to see more compsci classes, even though you are applying as a change of major. It might be hard for them to tell how competent you are in the subject from just two classes. Might be a reach.</p>
