Are my safeties actually safeties? And how much of a reach are my reach schools?

Another comment: with a GPA of 3.8, Mt Holyoke would be a target, not a safety, as would be WPI and RIT for CS/Information Science. Vassar would be a lowish reach, not a target.

In general, as a woman, you will have a better chance in CS at most places. However, this will not be true for any LAC like Vassar, which do not accept by major, and also tend to have far more women applying than men (of course, that is not relevant for MHC)

In any case, you’ve done well, and the only thing that your list is still missing is a college which you would be happy to attend, is affordable, and to which you are certain to be accepted.

Good luck!
