UC Berkeley - Very likely to get in especially if you’re CA resident
Purdue - in</p>

<p>In all honesty, you have the academic rigor to have a chance at all these schools. You also seem to have made some impressive feats and awards. If you could be more detailed with your extracirriculars, that would allow us to get a better appraisal of your credentials. From what I can see, you have talent, but I don’t see a passionate trend towards a subject area. Tell us more about what you love to do and how much you’re committed to it?</p>

<p>At none of these schools are you wasting your admissions fee in any sense. Scores really impress people here, but for admissions folk at top universities they are only a negative or a neutral. That means that a 2300 won’t pull you through if you have weak ECs, essays or other segments of your application. A 1900 can bar you form entry if there is not a good reason.</p>
<p>That being said, sorry I’m not going to say that you are 100% in at any of the top schools on your list… You are a viable candidate though. I don’t see any sports or incredible National ECs. One of my friends was an International Math Olympiad last year and won a silver medal. He was denied by Caltech and MIT simply because he didn’t bring anything else to the table other than a super powered brain(which they have PLENTY of). </p>
<p>MIT - Stanford: Average chances, meaning 20%.(I know they are close to 9% but I figure a lot of people have academic ineligibility or are failed sports recruits/legacies.)
Caltech - Reach; 25%
Cornell - High Match(They eat up SAT scores… Not hard at all for you)
University of Michigan - Match
Carnegie Mellon - Low Match; Again a place that wants to be on the rise in scores and such
UC Berkeley - Match (Berkeley doesn’t look at much if the scores aren’t there, and your scores are there for sure. Just realize full pay is the only thing that makes it a Match; Aid will reduce your chances to a Low Reach if around 50%; 60%+ may make it a reach.)
Purdue - Low Match(Your scores will blow 99% of the applicants away; works well to be in the top 1% of something)</p>
<p>I would advise adding Harvey Mudd, they look at math ability as a requirement but also like an eagerness for other areas. You will take more than just math and science here, but don’t worry… Mudders are on par with Cal Tech kids in every scientific and mathematical field. UMBC is also another great option in the scientific fields. Duke or Princeton, both have great math departments and fund research. Optics research at Duke is cutting edge. Research all three of the schools listed in this paragraph and try to add 1-2.</p>
<p>MIT - mid-reach
Stanford - mid-reach
Caltech - low-reach
Cornell - low-reach/high-match
University of Michigan - match/low-match
Carnegie Mellon - match
UC Berkeley - match
Purdue - safety</p>
