Well it’s impossible to say for sure but if you were to go into EECS, you would have an increased chance as a woman in engineering. Seeing now, your stats are quite competitive while your ECs will be decent but not outstanding.

I would give you a good chance at all of these schools. You are a very competitive applicant.

You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are good. Get more leadership in your ECs and write amazing essays and you could get accepted to any of these schools
