<p>Applying exclusively to schools with acceptance rates lower than 10% (with the exception of Cornell) is never a good idea. You are an URM, which will help, but your stats and ECs are not above the average for most of those schools.</p>

<p>Columbia ED - low reach (My guess is that it will be deferred, in which case it turns into a reach)
Harvard - reach
Yale - reach
Princeton - reach
Brown - low reach
UPenn - low reach
UChicago - low reach
Stanford - reach
Cornell - match</p>

<p>I would say that out of all of those very competitive schools, one is bound to accept you. You are an excellent applicant but don’t be upset if many or all of these schools deny you for no particular reason. You’re going to succeed, and wherever you end up you will do so.</p>

<p>Wait isn’t it to late to apply to Columbia ED? Will either way, I think you stand a fair shot to at least one of those schools</p>

5

<p>It is too late, I already applied, but my results aren’t back in yet.</p>

<p>Honestly, I think they’re all high matches, but since they’re so selective, they’re reaches :/. It’s just so difficult to tell with these schools; valedictorians and huge award winners often don’t make it. </p>

<p>I would REALLY suggest you get some safety schools. Try some of the California universities, Miami University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, U of Wisconsin, etc. etc. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
