Match me - High stats cs major looking for match schools [TX resident, 4.0 GPA, top 6% rank, 1570 SAT, <$40k (<$80k for reaches) from parents]

I noted UMN because it’s strong, it’s in corporate heaven, and yes, lots of merit.

Like Purdue, it will have a surcharge in the major.

UF was mentioned - another strong school.

Purdue is likely (I don’t think a hard target), UF is a hard target and UMN a safety.

You have Duke - you can swap in UNC instead - and save bucks too.

Again, with 20 slots, you can do what you want - as long as you have UTD and UT, etc.

You might look at RPI too - they can be very generous and their grads do very well.

Ohio State is another that might make costs and would be a likely.
