Do I have a reasonable shot at these schools? These aren’t all my schools, I also have safeties and closer matches.
I think you are overreacting. All of these are high reaches and unlikely. What are your matches and safeties?
Match:
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Boston University
Rennsselaer Polytechnic Institute
SUNY Stony Brook
Stevens Institute of Technology
Safety:
SUNY Albany
New Jersey Institute of Technology
University of Kentucky
Wentworth Institute of Technology
My criteria:
Reach: <50% or admissions under 20%
Match: 50%-75%
Safety: >75%
Your scores could be better, but your activities are good. That being said, your activities show that you want to become anything other than a computer programmer. Objectively, I would say your chances of getting into your top schools are low because they commonly take people who show a strong interest in Computer Science right away in HS.
I believe that based on your scores, some of your matches are actually reaches including BU, Stevens, and RPI. Just make certain you have some true safeties that would be a acceptable for you to attend.
