What are some examples of schools I could look at as safe?
CS at any school is competitive, most of the schools in your list is very good for CS hence it will be even more competitive. Do you have a preference for location? West Coast, I would suggest Santa Clara, Midwest, UIUC and Purdue, U of Wisconsin. East Coast, Northeastern.
I don’t really have location preferences. I like to figure out schools that make sense and then just look at them individually. Thanks for the suggestions.
Find out of admission to the Computer Science program at the UW is concurrent with admission to the university overall. For UW engineering, you can only apply to an engineering department after your Freshman year and there are specific GPA requirements. Therefore, you could be excluded from your chosen major at the UW.
