Thank you! :)</p>
<p>I’m sorry but Cornell, Princeton, Columbia and Carnegie Mellon will all be extreme reach schools. However, I think you will be okay with most of the rest.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon isn’t that hard to get into. The average from my school (public) is a 3.6 and there are over 100 people who applied in the last 4 years. Cornell, Princeton, and Columbia are reaches.</p>
<p>Cornell (CoE & Cas) - Reach
Princeton - Very High Reach
Columbia - High Reach
SUNY Stony Brook (honors college) - High Match
NYU Poly - High Match
Penn State (University Park) - High Match
Carnegie Mellon - Low Reach
Northeastern - Match
UIUC - Low Match to Match
U Mich - High Match
CUNY Macaulay - No Idea
Drexel University - Safety to Low Match</p>
<p>Don’t worry, I am pretty much in the same boat ~ applied to 5 ivies without anything significant!!
And you never know Cornell & Carnegie Mellon, though reaches may just like your overall application!!</p>
<p>Thanks for all the replies guys! By the way, I calculated my GPA by myself.
My school scores out of 100, and I am 88.5 UW, and 91.5 W. Can someone tell me what these are on the 4.0 scale? I want to make sure I’ve calculated those correctly…</p>
