<p>GPA-wise, you’re good to go. Idealistically, your SATs should be higher, but it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. </p>
<p>Also, your ECs are great, but you kinda need something that shows colleges that you have passion.</p>
<p>other than that, youre fine.</p>
<p>btw, can you chance me?

<p>Carnegie mellon - match
Johns hopkins - low reach
Columbia - reach
cooper union - reach
cornell - low reach
rensselaer - ?
boston u - in (safety)
u rochester - in (safety)</p>
<p>I would say you’re stretching it a bit for Columbia and Cornell. If you plan on applying for engineering at Cooper your 610 in physics SAT2 is going to raise some eyebrows. I would say those 3 are reaches. Don’t know too much about the other schools (especially clueless on JHU engineering)</p>
<p>anymore suggestions?</p>
<p>i’d say you’re a good for all of them but Cornell Engineering may be quite difficult to get into. Also Carnegie Mellon is a good school for Engineering as well as Columbia but nontheless competitive. despite this you have a good chance at all schools, best of luck!</p>
<p>if you can chance me back!
