Chance a stressed co'26 for her dream schools! [NJ resident, 3.90 GPA, 1560 SAT, 34 ACT, 1520 PSAT; computer science, data science, philosophy]

These are the dream schools? All of them?? The ones that are so different in size and weather and environment and curriculum type?? wow.

Let’s start with yes, you’re in:

NJIT, Rutgers, Stony Brook, Stevens, Pitt

So if those are dream schools - you have zero to worry about!! So stop stressing.

Target - but I lean toward in - UMD. If you want another two (one safe but a great name - UMN and one higher up the rankings but a smidge easier than UMD - UMASS).

The rest - you’ll get into some I predict…at least a couple. U of M though LSA I’d think.

I suspect these are dream based on ranking but not fit.

I encourage you to figure out what type of school you’d like - size, weather, urban/rural, sports, greek life, etc.

Best of luck to you.
