Chance + match a SF Bay Area rising senior [4.0 UW, 1560 SAT, 1520 PSAT, for CS]

As others noted, what does this mean? You could go to school for as low as $20K.

But do you want large, midsize, or small?

Urban, suburban, rural?

Weather - warm, cold, windy?

Greek life - does it matter?

Sports - does it matter?

Diversity - both gender and racial ?

Colleges can be $20K - like an Alabama which gives you a ton of automerit to in the $40s a year in state to $90K+ a year at small / mid size privates?

We really need to know your desires - but if you stick to CSUs and UCs, you likely won’t need Letters of Recommendation…there is a chance a UC could ask for one but not for most.

Tell us more of what you seek - the UCs don’t fill all buckets so if you want a tiny, liberal arts school, as an example…that’s not a UC.

Start with asking your parents what they can afford. UCs are a great deal but not necessarily the lowest cost schools.

PS - you’ll fit into a ton of places - with your stats, there are many, many schools that will want you - a ton, in fact, but we have to figure out who you’d want.

Thanks
