<p>I would actually say Columbia is a high reach, and Cornell is a reach.
Kids in Stuyvesant got rejected from Columbia via ED, and they had 95+ avg with 2300+ SATs.</p>
<p>I would argue that Cooper Union would be a low reach. It is quite competitive to get in because they cover your tuition costs- meaning you only have to pay/find housing. </p>
<p>The rest:
Carnegie Mellon-low reach
Johns hopkins-match
Columbia-reach
cornell- reach
rensselaer-in (but be careful, they have become more competitive in years and they do reject qualified students. We had a kid accepted at Yale, but rejected at RPI)
boston u-in
u rochester-in</p>
<p>Carn Mell - low reach/range
JHU - mid reach
Columbia - high reach (the physics SAT II score …)
Cooper Union - reach, Coop looks at numbers they’ll see the Physics score - sorry not as optimistic as sanghvi92 on this.
Cornell - mid reach
RPI - safe
BU - safe/range
Rochester - safe/range</p>
