Stats are solid but not differentiating for C
this is the right read. OP's ECs carry the app and the founder story is a real spike, not filler. GPA is fine for the targets. T20 CS is still a reach everywhere though.
disagree that it's a reach everywhere, that spike could flip a couple of these. RemindMe! 6 months
First-gen + founder narrative is genuinely strong here. Your essays need to make the nonprofit feel inevitable, not resume filler. State flagships look great for you:
hard disagree with the optimism in here. 1480 is below the CS median at every reach on this list. apply broadly and love your safeties.
whatever you do, do not open the essay with the founding date of the nonprofit. start in the middle of a mentee moment. trust me.
