CS/Informatics/Data Science College List Help

If you’re thinking of EDing to a school, you ED to your favorite one that you would love to attend.

I was going to mention Oregon State, but I don’t think it’s overly near an airport.

The California publics are test blind, so they won’t look at your SAT/ACT scores. But if you’re looking for a mid-sized California public for CS, one of these might have potential, though an expert like @Gumbymom has the best sense of how competitive the California publics are for CS.

Cal Poly - Humboldt: about 5400 undergrads, but unlikely to have close airport access
Cal State - Chico: about 14k undergrads
Cal State - Monterey Bay: About 6700 undergrads

I am not an admissions professional, but this is my very fallible guess as to what your chances might be at these schools that you may want to consider:

Extremely Likely (80-99+%)

  • Gonzaga (WA): about 5k undergrads
  • Seattle Pacific (WA): About 2600 undergrads
  • Seattle U (WA): About 4k undergrads
  • U. of Nevada - Reno: About 17k undergrads
  • U. of New Mexico: About 16k undergrads
  • U. of the Pacific (CA): About 3300 undergrads
  • Western Washington: About 14k undergrads

Likely (60-79%)

  • U. of Denver (CO): About 5900 undergrads
  • U. of San Francisco (CA): About 6k undergrads

Toss-Up (40-59%)

  • Colorado School of Mines: About 5500 undergrads
  • Loyola Marymount (CA): about 7100 undergrads
  • Santa Clara (CA): About 5900 undergrads

Lower Probability (20-39%)

Low Probability (less than 20%)
