<p>Well, why would I apply to places where I don't think I would have at least some chance of getting in? I think I have a shot at all the schools. And the reasons? Everything in the first post.</p>
<p>I just want to see how my own biased opinions of myself could differ from the ones of others.</p>
<p>Columbia Engineering (ED) LIKELY
Cornell Engineering UNLIKELY
Carnegie Mellon, computer science VERY LIKELY
Brown (for compsci) UNLIKELY
NYU stern VERY LIKELY
Boston U VERY LIKELY
Cooper Union MAYBE
CUNY Honors Baruch VERY LIKELY
SUNY Binghamton VERY LIKELY</p>
<p>Obviously a 3.8 GPA is really impressive but the huge upward trend makes you look like a potential stud to any college, especially with your scores. Plus the emphasis on the Math+Science is reinforced by your 800 Math. If I was a gambling man I'd say you're into an ivy.</p>
<p>Columbia- Good shot
Cornell- Reasonable Chance
Carnegie Mellon- In
Brown- Reasonable Chance
NYU- In
Boston U- In
Cooper Union- In
CUNY Honors Baruch- In
SUNY Binghamton- In</p>
