<p>Obviously you’re stats are very impressive, so I’d say you have an excellent chance at a bunch of these schools. Lehigh, RPI, and Penn State actually sound like safeties for you. I’d be surprised if you didn’t get into CMU and UMichigan too. For the other four, I think you’re an excellent applicant and stand a chance at each one of those schools, but nothing is for sure there for anyone. I think you’ll get into at least 1 or 2 of those too though. All of the school’s you’re looking at are amazing; good luck!</p>
