Academic Interests: CS + Business (Huge ambition to make my own company or move up the corporate ladder to CEO at a Fortune 500. Boys State+Nation helped me open this interest in leadership.)
Resident: Mississippi. I can go to Ole Miss for free (it’s actually my hometown), but their CS isn’t good. I did research here, so I know it a lot.
Budget: Our income is less than 100k, so I can receive financial aid to attend school for way less, potentially even for free.
Top Schools: Northwestern (ED), GAtech (EA), UCSD, UCI, UMD (EA), UF (EA), UIUC (EA), UCD, and USC (EA). More Public Ivies, such as UMich (EA), UVA (EA), UWisconsin (EA), some Ivies, and safeties, were only Ole Miss and UTD. Targets: UMass (EA), Purdue-ish?(EA). I’m applying to EA a lot because of the admission rates boost.
