<p>I am applying to colleges for an 4-year undergrad. Computer Science degree.</p>
<p>I am applying to:
Harvard
Stanford
Yale
Princeton
Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>What are some good backup schools I should consider that are also affordable?</p>
<p>By the way, I have:
2200 SAT I
35 ACT
Have not taken subject tests
4.0/4.0 unweighted GPA, 4.8/4.8 weighted, Rank 1 of about 550
Decent extracurriculars</p>
<p>CMU is likely. You might get money from RPI and WPI.</p>
<p>RIT would make a great, true “safety”.</p>
<p>any other suggestions?</p>
<p>where are you located again?</p>
<p>[Computer</a> Science Schools and Colleges Directory | American School Search](<a href=“http://www.american-school-search.com/computer-science-schools.html]Computer”>http://www.american-school-search.com/computer-science-schools.html) </p>
<p>They list information and tuition rates on like 3,200 computer science schools - you may want to check that out. Hope it helps and good luck</p>
<p>CMU School of Computer Science is highly competitive. For backup, you should apply to Case Western, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia Tech, and U Illinois Urbana.</p>
