Hey guys. I posted on this forum a couple weeks ago to get some help at deciding which colleges I should be looking at getting in to. I’ve (more or less) narrowed it down to these 5, please feel free to suggest other options if you’d like.

1) University of Nebraska-Omaha
2) University of Richmond
3) Northeastern University
4) Macalester College
5) Colorado College

Before I post my stats, keep in mind I have a somewhat unique situation. I was homeschooled (accredited) from the second semester of 9th grade until the first semester of 11th grade. I go to a rural high school that offers no AP, IB, or Honors courses. However, we do have dual enrollment courses, which I am enrolled in 3 currently (The only ones available to me). Also, I was mistaken about my GPA/Class Rank in my previous post.



GPA: 3.81 UW (Rank: Top 20-25%?)

ACT: 30 (27, 29, 27, 35)

Taking again in December, expecting a 1-2 point jump.

ACT Superscore: 31 (27, 29, 32, 35)

Expecting a 1 point jump, maybe 2.

Intended Major: Computer Science

I do quite a bit of programming. I once made a modification for a game that was played by ~500-1000 people in total. I taught myself C# and parts of SQL (Or at least the ways to integrate MySQL into what I was trying to do), along with the native language for the game I was modding. I have hundreds of hours of programming experience, which I think sets me apart from other applicants, if I could get a chance to show off my work.
