i mean, you might just wanna go test opt- 1320 for reaches isn't the best. also ur gpa, while a little on the low end, is still in the top 10-20 ish percent!!! i would say usc (pretty good cs and biz), umich (biz, cs might be harder), and cornell (pretty good econ and cs)
#Looking for some reach schools :)

maybe uw-mad or UIUC (cs plus econ) too, if oos tuition is affordable 4 u
are those ur top ec's or all of them?

UMich really good cs and business. but def harder to get in. I feel like if u want to do both com sci & business u have to do deeper research into schools bc some, like umich, requires u to go into separate business school Ross where u won't be able to do CS. Some schools don't have busniness majors but have busniness tracks, which might be easier to balacnce with CS

I see. I will look into those 3, thank you very much.
And yes, those are my top ECs. I have about 9 total, but I will probably condense it to those 3

Very interesting.
I was also thinking of reach schools school in a big city like NYC, Chicago, LA, etc. I found some crazy ones like UChicago, NYU, and UCLA--but then again, not sure how much they align with my profile & intended major.

yeah, many schools u can only go into like business/cs separately cause they're in like different schools so just make sure u do ur research

hmm none of these schools (or most schools in the city lmao, I wanted middle of nowhere) were seriously on my college list so I have limited info about them. But if I remember correctly...
UChicago is liberal art vibe and encourages flxibility & exploration u can prob do both CS & business
NYU Stern is excellent for business though harder to get in. I'm not sure if you'd be able to do CS if u do that
UCs in general u have to apply to separte school/major and I'm not sure how easy it is to do both

I highly highly recommend it
that book gives like excellent overview of the personalities of each college including whehter they're flexible /liberal artsy/interdisciplinary or preprofessional plus also has school recommendations similar to the school's profile u looked at
it helped me decide on 75% of my college list
u can buy it online or go to your local library and thumb through it, take good notes lol
it also like lists what major the school is most strong at/well known for

Very interesting, I will look into it. Hopefully there is an online PDF version for it.

oki, they have different version for every year but I'm pretty sure it's relatively the same even if u can only find a version a few yeras back. Good luck!

Based on what you said, UChicago seems cool. Though it is a 6% acceptance so it would be a super reach school with my stats. 😭

yeah ;~; but I promise a lot of schools have flexible exploration vibe so there are *definitely *more options
personally I'm not cs or business so I'm not best qualified to give recs. However that book def can lol
cold olive
Yeah, I'll definitely check it out. There's too many universities to be searching for one on Google.

that's so true, it can be really hard to compare school to school's website. at 1 point they all look the same. However the book lists everything out for u really formulaically and u can easily compare things ur interested in bc they're in roughly the same locations & the book isn't trying to say "oh u want this? we have this, plus also that, and that", it'll tell u like their true personality lol
also it's like 1 AM for me imma go to sleep
