::Grades::
Your GPA is fine but your test scores are on the low side. It’s too late for NW ED now but I’d probably retake it for the RD round.
::ECs::
Your focus on entrepreneurship is very interesting and is potentially your biggest book but the issue is that all of your activities are only in the last two years. If you don’t have an explanation for that it’s going to seem odd that these are all only year-long commitments; might want to address that. Otherwise, solid.
::Essays/Recs::
These both look fine, supplementary letters generally are far less important than academic recs though so it may be wise to invest more in your teachers at this point.
::Hooks/Major::
By virtue of comparison, Comp Sci is, while generally very competitive, is even more so amongst your demographic. Maybe think of altering your approach and covering an APPLIED comp sci angle in your apps.
Unless you had some profound experience in Saudi Arabia, it’s not really worth mentioning IMO.
You have good chances for Penn State, BC, and BU, but at this point NYU and Northwestern are reach schools.
Hope that helps!
