Chance/match - CA female interested in CS [4.0 UW, 1470 SAT]

Below are my guesses as to what your chances for admission might be. Additionally, do not interpret the “low probability” category as “impossibility.”

I will leave the chancing on the California publics to @ucbalumnus and @gumbymom.

Extremely Likely (80-99+%)

Likely (60-79%

Toss-Up (40-59%)

Lower Probability (20-39%)

  • Virginia Tech

Low Probability (less than 20%)

  • Georgia Tech

  • Stanford

  • UIUC

  • Purdue

  • U. of Washington (the OOS acceptance rate for CS is about 2-3%)

This is the data on admission to Purdue’s CS program:

Some additional colleges you may want to consider include:

Extremely Likely (80-99+%)

  • Arizona State

  • Oregon State

  • U. of Texas - Dallas

Likely (60-79%

  • U. of Massachusetts

  • U. of Minnesota – Twin Cities

Toss-Up (40-59%)

  • U. of Colorado – Boulder: With respect to admission to the university, I’d expect it to be an extremely likely admit. In terms of getting in for CS, I suspect it would be a toss-up, but others may have better insight.

  • U. of Georgia

Lower Probability (20-39%)

  • U. of Maryland: You must apply EA here if you want to have a chance, as it fills more than 90% of its seats in EA.

Low Probability (less than 20%)
