<p>At these top schools, no one can give you an accurate chance. Many of the schools you posted are reaches for everybody. </p>

<p>Berkeley, CMU, Penn, and Rutgers are very possible. As for your other schools: no one can tell you, but you are very very competitive. Give it a shot, and see where that gets you. You have a very strong application and I would be very surprised if you didn’t get into at least one or two of the more elite schools that you’re looking at. Good luck!</p>

<p>Berkeley: low reach
Carnegie Mellon: low reach
Rutgers: safety</p>

<p>The rest are all reaches for everyone, but you’re a HIGHLY competitive applicant, so you’ll get into at least a few of those reaches :)</p>
