<p>DanQing: Thank you! I’m really nervous about universities, especially MIT as it is my dream school. If you could, could you give me a chance at the specific universities I mentioned? Thank you!</p>

<p>Wow! You DEFINITELY have a good shot at most of these colleges. Even for MIT, it may be a reach but you have a chance of getting in. Maybe the SAT might affect you a tiny bit, but otherwise, you’re set. Chance me back please :)</p>

<p>I’d say definitely a reach for MIT and a slightly lower reach for Cornell, simply due to the sheer volume of applicants. UVA, UCB, and CMU are all target schools, where it’s probably more likely than not you’ll be accepted, and definite acceptance at GA Tech. Good luck to you! </p>
