<p>IMO you’re a match for all your schools. Of course schools like MIT and CMU are a crapshoot but from your impressive grades and scores alone I think you have a good chance of getting in. I wouldn’t worry about your ECs if I were you (besides maybe the fact that your volunteer work is a little low?); the clubs you’re in show an obvious passion for STEM-related fields so I think you’re good there. Good luck!</p>

<p>you have great chances IMO. The fact that u took a Differential Equations based class in junior year blows my mind. I would say 50% chance of columbia ED, and every other college is a low reach high match.</p>

4

<p>Just wondering, why Columbia ED? Also, do you have any safeties?</p>

5

<p>CMU School of Computer Science has about an 8% acceptance rate, far lower than the university as a whole.</p>
