Computer Science Applications Have Skyrocketed in Recent Years, with Acceptance Rates Dipping Below 5% at Many Programs

The computer science admissions world has changed.

Today’s most selective programs are looking for more than perfect grades and test scores. They want students who demonstrate curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and real-world impact; the kind of problem-solving that can’t be captured in a GPA.

Join Jeremy, an experienced college admissions expert who has helped students gain admission to top CS programs at MIT, Georgia Tech, Berkeley, and more.

 

You'll discover:

  • What CS admissions officers actually look for beyond grades and scores
  • How to avoid the look-alike application: the difference between checking boxes and showing true impact
  • Proven ways to explore computer science outside the classroom that spark passion without burnout
  • CS in the age of AI: whether the degree still pays off and which new skills and fields are emerging
