Your stats are stunning. Please apply ED1 to Brown as long as that's your top choice. Be sure to apply to other top schools for comp sci, such as MIT, Carnegie Mellon, other Ivies, and institutes of technology. I suggest using Niche.com to research colleges through an unbiased system (US News are corrupt) and building a well-rounded list of more reaches/hard targets, some target schools, and a few safeties. You have lots of potential despite how competitive admissions are, good luck!

I agree except the suggestion on researching through Niche. Because is niche really unbiased? I will just recommend searching through college websites and make your own decisions.

@kat.in.the.shat4 years ago

I don't think any website is perfect, but keep in mind that colleges' goal is to get you to apply, even if it means more rejections for them, and that they get to lower their acceptance rate. I've seen ads for colleges that look stunning, only to find them with C/D grades on Niche, and student reviews complaining about awful conditions such as mold and no air conditioning.

@leon4 years ago

Yes, its good to know the bad stuff but then the C/D grade can also be misleading.

Why would you pick Brown as your Early school since they are not really known for being very good in Computer Science?

If I had your stats and ECs, I'd apply to Stanford, CMU, UI-UC, Fu School(Columbia), Harvey Mudd, CalTech, UC Berkeley, Cornell.

Brown????

Caltech is like out of my reach i think so, no one ever recommended me. Cmu is good but i want good scholarship, same for uc berkeley. And i dont like columbia and cornell reject everyone in ed1. And i m not sure for brown, i was just asking coz i dono much. How much essays matter according to my profile?
