<p>I'm shooting for a lot of serious reaches so I need someone to tell me to wake up, ha:
Stanford (1st choice)
CMU
Berkeley
UIUC
GA Tech
UT-Austin
Cornell
Michigan
Penn State
Princeton
Columbia
Northwestern
Duke
Purdue
VA Tech
Wisconsin-Madison
Rice
MIT (<----why not)</p>

<p>Basically, my main question is: Do I need to add colleges to the list so that I'll have a safety to fall back on? = Do I have a chance at ANY of the schools above?</p>
