<p>Not entirely accurate, and not totally sure of how correct I may be. Here’s my guesses:</p>

<p>MIT (EA): reach, you know the deal
Case Western (EA): Safety
Michigan (EA): Low Match
Purdue (EA): Safety
Princeton: reach
Cornell: Low Reach, if you go ED on these guys, there’s a 40 percent acceptance rate in the engineering college…(shh! :wink: )
Stanford: Reach
Duke: Reach
Johns Hopkins: Low Reach
Lehigh: Low Reach/matc
Carnegie Mellon: Match, or low Reach
Northwestern: Low Reach
Rochester: Low match</p>

<p>I hope I’m not too far off…good luck!
PS, chance me maybe?

<p>MIT: Reach
Case Western: Safety
UMI: Low match/Match
Purdue: Safety
Princeton: Reach
Cornell: Reach (high match if you ED)
Stanford: Reach
Duke Pratt: Reach (Duke has two admissions offices; one for engineers - Pratt, and one for non-engineers - Trinity)
JHU: High match (match if you ED)
Lehigh: Low match/Match
NWU: High match
CMU: High match
Rochester: Low match</p>

<p>MIT (EA) - Reach, but possible
Case Western (EA) - safety
Michigan (EA) - I would bet on an acceptance
Purdue (EA) - Safety
UT Austin Engineering Honors Program - Safety - but I’ve heard weird stories about this particular program, with many outstanding kids not getting in. IDK much about texas unis.
Princeton - Reach, but possible
Cornell - Low Reach
Stanford - High, high reach. Good stats just don’t seem to be good enough for Stanford, they need a lot of that “extra”
Duke - Low Reach
Johns Hopkins - High Match
Lehigh - Safety
Carnegie Mellon - Match - likely acceptance
Northwestern - Low Reach
Rochester - Safety</p>
