Hello a quick thanks before I get into the details.
Location/Region:
I’m a student in CA, US
The location doesn’t matter but I would prefer my matches and safeties to be in-state based on cost.
Major:
Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computer Engineering
Really any alternate majors for computer science.
General Area of my Expertise (NOT ECS) (Just for some context for majors ig):
I've done stuff in cybersecurity, rocketry, and programming.
I would say I've dabbled and I have a solid foundation in most of tech so just context as to why I am looking for CS alternate majors.
I am pretty spread so I don’t have a particular preference on Major.
GPA/Test Scores:
GPA: 4.0 UW - 5.1333 W
UC GPA: 4.24 (A lot of classes at community college so it reduces average)
11 APs taken 9-11th - 5 currently taken 12th
SAT: 1490 (both single and superscore)
Size:
Honestly, it doesn't really matter I am more focused on the programs.
I enjoy the benefits of a close knit community and a large more social life.
Schools Currently Looked at (Just ideas. They don't have to stay):
Safeties: (GPA BASED): Cal States and (UCR or UCM because of top 9% gpa at my school)
UCs: UCLA, UCB, UCSD, UCI
Others: Cornell, Upenn, Stanford, Purdue, Harvey Mudd, Brown, USC, Carnegie Mellon, UIUC, Umich, UT Austin, MIT, Uchicago, Princeton, Caltech, Columbia, Harvard, Gtech
What's important:
I’m really just looking for schools that have great programs for tech. I’m interested in the networking aspect and education.
I’m also looking for an outline for schools to apply for EA and ED and other schools to apply during RD
I was thinking an ED that boosts my chances a lot and then other non restrictive EAs that either help boost my app chances or give me a gauge of where I would be in this application cycle.
