<p>I'd like to apply to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, San Jose State, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, UC Davis, UC San Diego, Columbia, UCLA, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Caltech, UC Berkeley, and Stanford (in that order, from safeties to high reaches).</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Can someone please help me? I’m trying to narrow down my college choices, and don’t want to pick colleges that I can’t get into. Thanks!</p>

<p>Guys please, I’d really appreciate some feedback; I don’t want to waste my time/money applying for colleges, if a majority of people feel that I wouldn’t get in. I value your time and opinion!</p>

<p>I’d say you have fair chance at all of them seeing your EC’s GPA and SAT is awesome. I would tell tho, to pick between MIT, Stanford, and Colombia since all of them are really reach for everyone</p>

<p>Bump, only one reply?</p>

<p>Bump, yet again.</p>

<p>Bump again.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at all of them. I agree with the previous reply about the three reaches.</p>

<p>Thanks! But one concern I have is that I have had trouble getting internships/research opportunities. Will these hurt me? Or will it be neutral and having it will only help?</p>

<p>Buuuuuuuump</p>

<p>I think you are a strong academically strong enough to have a better than average chance of getting in. In addition being a female interested in EECS might also work in your favor.</p>

<p>remove columbia and all the other non EECS colleges.You’ve worked really hard:)…Focus on STEM if it is your passion:)</p>

<p>Cornell is your best Ivy bet and it’s a little harder than Berkeley to get in from your standpoint.</p>

<p>UCSC: Safety
SJSU: Safety
UCSB: Safety
CPP: Low match
UCD: Low match
UCSD: Low match
UCLA: Match
Berkeley: Match
Cornell: Match/High match
CMU: High match
Columbia: Reach
MIT: Reach
Caltech: Reach
Stanford: Reach</p>

<p>OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH. This was very helpful!</p>
