Thank you both for your reply. Thought CMU and MIT are too reachy based on my stats. Michigan OOS is over $50k. Never thought about Maryland.
I probably can go to UF with minimal expense if not full-ride. Parents will pay for GeoTech/UIUC etc. if I can get in because of their strong CS program and not too high tuition. They will also consider paying for CMU or MIT since they are top schools. I guess as of now, I am only looking for a top CS program.
Any suggestions for more safety and match? I know some schools give full ride for NMF but didn’t know USC offers scholarship and perks.
Based on my AP scores, my liberal arts classes seem stronger than STEM ones. I have always been good with STEM. Math was never too hard for me but the fact is I only got 4 for Calculus AB. I was hoping to have a recommendation from math teacher to support my STEM capability. But I had on-line class last year due to COVID so didn’t have interactions with the math teacher. Do you think will this be an issue?
Thank you!
