BC, Brandeis, Tufts as targets

#

UMass Amherst is a nice safety

#

I'd apply for CS there since its the more competitive major

#

NYU Courant is also super but not in New England

#

maybe u could do UConn as a safety too

#

not sure how good they are with finaid tho

I’m not sure tufts would be a target. It has a 15% acceptance rate iirc.

Although it doesn't fit your location well, you could consider UIUC's cs + math or cs + stats program which combine the two major into one and give you a strong foundation on both. It is a reach with around a 4 or 5% acceptance rate as it is a top cs school but if you have strong math ECs it will help a lot

yea fair enough but tufts is p heavy on ED so if they does that they will get a nice boost

Not really no... Tufts acceptance rate is some 9% for class of 2026...

#

BC class of 2025 acceptance rate, including 2 rounds of early decision, stands at 19%, and it's religious

#

NYU Courant is great too, and with recent developments they should be more generous with aid

#

UConn will not give any measurable amount of aid given the OP's household income

Consider Williams

#

Yeah Williams math is really solid

#

It’s an LAC so it’s not necessarily labeled as a T20s…but definitely a top 20 school by most metrics
