What are my chances for Computer Science?

I’m from Illinois and I don’t mind small schools but I’d prefer large schools. I have saved 20K so far from tutoring and hope to gain 40K by the end of senior year and my parents have been saving for colleges for a while now and I have had the “college cost” talk with my parents and they’ve been saving for a while now so they’re fine with most of these schools. Both my parents are also computer science majors and both work in tech companies so they are happy I too want to go into computer science which is why they’re happy to pay for the college costs.

I answered on your other thread asking the same thing…run each schools net price calculator to see if it will be affordable. Sometimes, parents have no idea what college costs are today.

I agree with the above that every school on this list is a reach for CS with a GPA of 3.45, with the possible exception of WPI. It is good that you have an upward trend in grades, but will need to broaden your list to contain match schools and at least one affordable safety.

Look at U Iowa, Iowa State, U Nebraska, U Kansas, ASU, U Arizona, Oregon State, U Utah, RPI, RIT, DePaul, Drexel. You need to know the CS acceptance rate, not the overall rate, to accurately categorize schools.
