I think Pitt Bradford for example offers a $5,500 Panther scholarship. You might save a bunch of money in the first two years if you start at a Pitt branch campus and might be able to transfer later if your GPA increases.
If you go to college navigator website you can compare up to four schools side by side.
I checked there and the Pitt branches like Greensburg, Johnstown have the highest SAT scores. 75% numbers are 540-550 for CR, 560-570 for M and 530-540 W. Compare that to Ship and IUP and some PSU branches near you like Beaver and Greater Allegheny and they all range around the same, 530 for CR and 540-560 for M (75%).
You should visit these schools since they are relatively close by and look at their compsci departments and ask about scholarships. Might as well save money if you can.
Case, U Rochester and RIT have higher SAT scores. 25% scores for CR are 600, 600 and 540 respectively.
For math 670, 650, 570. So you might get accepted to RIT, but others less likely.
Costs are also alot higher $47,000 to $60,000 compared to around $25,000 for the instate schools above.
