Finalizing Computer Science College Choices

College Search & Lists
10

<p>gravitas2, I am sorry for any confusion here. As I said above, I am applying early through the QuestBridge College Match program. The way the program works is like this: QuestBridge it partnered with 35 top schools. If I am selected as a finalist on October 22, the colleges I rank on my list will receive my application. If any of them admit me, I will be legally obligated to attend the one I ranked highest on my list. However, the ones that admit me are obligated to provide a full scholarship.</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon and Berkeley are not in the QuestBridge program. If I don’t get into any schools via QuestBridge, I will certainly apply regular decision to Carnegie Mellon—probably not to Berkeley as they are highly expensive for non-California residents.</p>

<p>So, in the mean time, I have to complete my list of schools for the QuestBridge program by October 14 (Monday). Here are my choices (11 of the 35 the ones that have decent Computer Science):
MIT
Princeton
Stanford
CalTech
Brown
Penn
Columbia
Yale
UChicago
Northwestern
Rice</p>

<p>gravitas2, you said you would eliminate half the schools on the list, which ones? I really need to narrow my list down.</p>

<p>Thank you! :)</p>
