Admissions Advice

Can you suggest some good CS safety colleges for me as per my stats given ?

My details - SAT-1120, GPA-3.7, top-2%, and leadership positions in high school in India. Please also tell me tips to build a better profile and get scholarships for the colleges listed.

I am also applying to UIUC, UCB, etc. but for my bachelor's and I have enrolled in a NGO as a " Social Entrepreneurship" intern position but it is free (I will be working for free but surely gain experience). I was prefect in my school and captain of the football team. I am currently also studying for JEE (coaching). I surely have good grades and good amount of extracurriculars but the ones I am interested in was not fully supported in my school (i.e. football, CS, and Maths competitions). Have a instagram editing account and a telegram group.

CAN YOU TELL ME IS MY PROFILE GOOD ENOUGH FOR NYU AND DUKE AND I WILL BE APPLYING TO THOSE FOR MY ED 1 & 2 .

Dude, why did you write in your previous posts you had 1520 SAT and in your recent post an 1120 SAT? That's like the difference between a 60th percentile score and a 99th % one. Your profile doesn't make you a strong applicant for Duke/NYU/UCB/UCIC

You have a good profile write excellent essays and hope for the desired outcome. Consider retaking SAT target 1450 or better. If a school is test-optional then don't submit 1120 score. Some good safety schools are listed below. Research and apply.

University of Vermont

University of Colorado Boulder

University of Nevada Reno

Rutgers University–Newark

University of San Francisco

Gonzaga University

Seattle University, Washington

@sera If I do get 1400+ in SAT what will be some of the best cs safety and reach colleges for me as per my profile?

Please refer to the above list. SAT 1400 is factored in.

@sera I want to aim a little higher i.e. top 100 cs colleges

@sera2 years ago

Here is the top 200 CS college list. You can tweak it as per what is more important to you. Then research college and look at the average student profile. https://drafty.cs.brown.edu/csopenrankings/
