#Looking for Target and Safety schools for CS

vtech is probably a hard target to reach for cs bro its hella hard to get into
uflorida
u of o
Really? Most kids from my school have gotten into vtech even with like a 3.5 GPA.
And why is the acceptance rate so high?
For cs it’s super hard
^make sure u know if schools admit by major or not, also if ur in the bay i'd suggest sjsu as a safety
also vtech primary campus isnt near any booming tech industry, its 4 hours away from dc
try gw for a soft target/safety
If you want to be in the tech industry, maybe apply to more schools in silicon valley or San Francisco. Ex: Santa Clara Uni, SJSU, Stanford, etc
If you are interested in UC Davis, you should probably consider all the other UC's as well. UCSD, UCLA, UCB, they all have really renowned cs programs. The UC application is just 4 PIQ essays, so you can send it to as many UC campuses as you want. Def consider other UC's if your planning to apply to Davis
Yea I’m planning to apply to other ucs as well
