<p>Recently I decided that I want to open up more opportunities than apply to one or two schools. What schools should I apply to that are reasonably close to the New York/New Jersey area that are good for computer science? Sadly, I have not taken SAT II's so that hurt my chances with some schools. However, I am still looking for other options. </p>
<p>Thoughts:
I did Rutgers as a safe school. (New Brunswick)
and I think I am going to apply to Stevens Institute of Technology, but I was wondering how good their Comp Sci is because I don't really see them in the top charts for comp sci. and not like top 5 but like top 50.</p>
<p>Besides CMU and MIT, Rutgers, Stony Brook, Maryland, Massachusetts - Amherst, Virginia Tech, and Penn State are obvious ones in your area. However, check the net price calculators to see if you can afford them.</p>
<p>cant do MIT or CMU. Rutgers im in. Penn state doesn’t offer merit based scholarships so im very hesitant. Virginia Tech sounded alright. I don’t think I’m going to do Maryland or Massachusetts. Stonybrook is NYIT right?</p>
