How to get in for computer and information sciences

What readers look for from applicants who declare this field, at any selectivity.

Colleges publish one acceptance rate for the whole school, not per major, so there is no official admit rate for computer and information sciences. The median acceptance rate among the 725 colleges awarding it is 76%; the most selective (California Institute of Technology, 3%) and the most accessible (Southern New Hampshire University, 100%) both graduate substantial numbers in the field. CollegeCalcAI's calculator applies a published per-major adjustment for "Computer Science" on top of each school's own rate, so your estimate reflects the major you declare.

  1. Calculus and a computer science course on the transcript, with the strongest grades in math
  2. Something you built: a project, an app, a competition entry, a contribution to open source
  3. Math or science depth over breadth in senior-year course choices
