 3 Post Secondary Schools (Colleges,
Technical, Military) that offer
Degrees in Computer Science

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

77 Massachusetts Avenue
Cambridge, MA 02139

Computer Science 352 Graduates

Mechanical Engineering 190 Graduates

Mathematics & Statistics 122 Graduates

The 25th percentile SAT score is 2120, and the 75th percentile SAT score
is 2360. In other words, a 2120 places you below average, while a 2360 will
move you up to above average. There's no absolute SAT requirement at
MIT, but they really want to see at least a 2120 to have a chance at being
considered.

Stanford University
450 Serra Mall Stanford, CA 94305
Biology 264 Graduates
Computer Science 263 Graduates
Engineering 119 Graduates
The acceptance rate at Stanford is 5%. For every 100 applicants, only 5 are
admitted. This means the school is extremely selective. Meeting their
GPA requirements and SAT/ACT requirements is very important to getting
past their first round of filters and proving your academic preparation.

Carnegie Mellon University
5000 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213

Computer Science 175 Graduates

Electrical and Electronics Engineering 149 Graduates

Mathematics & Statistics 112 Graduates

The acceptance rate at Carnegie Mellon is 24%. For
every 100 applicants, 24 are admitted. This means the
school is very selective. If you meet Carnegie Mellon's
requirements for GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and other
components of the application, you have a great shot at
getting in.
