[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unhooked male from public school NOVA. CS major 3.96, 1560, Varsity athlete, club leadership, CS related internship, state award this admissions cycle:
Rejected Harvard and Penn
Waitlisted UVA and NEU
Accepted to 8 schools in 30-75 range. 6 offered merit[/quote]

Would be helpful to see the list of 8 schools to which you were accepted for CS. Thank you in advance.[/quote]

Not PP, first take a look at all the schools in the 30-75 range that are NOT direct admit to majors (hint there are plenty) or would be an easy target for those stats, because they have dropped "a tier".

My 1500/3.99UW kid got into 4 for eng/CS as planned majors.

Off top of my head:  Boston College, URochester, Case Western, RPI, WPI, Lehigh, Santa Clara, Syracuse, Pitt are all schools that would be an easy target if you demonstrate interest and most give merit and most are not Direct admit for majors.

Proof that "stepping down a tier" can achieve excellent results.  Those who are disappointed are ones without true targets or safeties or who apply only to Direct admit CS/Eng programs and no schools that let you self select your major once there (at least 6 of those listed I know allow you to pick whatever major you want)
