<p>You should get into UC Berkeley, Cornell, Harvey Mudd, UW, Carnegie Mellon and Northwestern just fine.
MIT, Caltech, Princeton, Harvard are stretches for everyone, because you never know what they’re looking for :frowning:

<p>Your objectives is quite strong, and your ECs revolve around engineering. I don’t think your essay topic choice was strong, but it might have turned out differently. Did you get an additional rec from your work experiences? That could definitely help. I agree with the person above. </p>

<p>Your ethnicity, like mine, hurts you unfortunately.</p>

<p>Chance back?
