Currently a sophomore just thinking about what colleges I might consider applying to, so far I’m interested in:
Cornell
Virginia Tech
Georgia Tech
Rutgers
University of Maryland
U Michigan
U Illinois
I would like to major in comp sci or engineering. my gpa is 4.3. do you think this is relatively balanced? Any other schools that might be worth looking at for my desired major?
Note: I know you can’t really tell without SAT/ACT, but just in general considering the level of these schools and w/ Cornell being the #1 target
Without an SAT/ACT score no one can tell. Rutgers would likely be a safety.
Can your parents pay full price at the out of state rate for the state schools outside your home state? It is over $50K per year at most of them, and you generally won’t get need based aid if you are not in-state. UVA and to some extent Michigan may provide aid, but they are also hard to get into from OOS.
It’s nearly impossible for us to know without your scores. Your GPA is Cornell’s average, their average SAT is 2120.
The key question here is intparent’s: costs. Most of these universities are unaffordable to about 98% American families. What’s instate for you?
