Chance Me for Reaches: Cog Sci/Comp Sci in California

Why are you nauseous ? You have a great record. I mean an unreal record. Nothing can ever take that away from you.

I don’t know your budget but assuming ASU is affordable, it’s a fine choice as will be SJSU. UCB too - not sure how generous the scholarship is - website says $2500 minimum.

If they are not affordable, have you looked at the schools that will give you a free ride or near free ride - Alabama, Tulsa and there’s more!!!

You already got into one reach (it’s now a safety) and may get into more. But the question becomes - do you qualify for need? If not, are your parents good paying upward of $340k or more when you can go for free OR near free (including living expenses), or the ASU/SJSU cost ?

Great record. Good luck. But it’s CS. No need to bankrupt your parents. My nephew was Poli Sci at Arizona and does CS in NYC. As he said they test you - he doesn’t know how but he passed.

Where you go will matter to your experience but not necessarily to your final outcome it may, but may not. So think about that when you look at the possibilities you have - and if you haven’t, look at th NMF possibilities which could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars. I listed two great ones - there’s more !!

Don’t be nauseous. Be excited. You earned it !!
