<p>I agree with the above two posters. </p>

<p>Stanford, MIT are mid reaches, Columbia is a low-reach. Berkeley is a match. Make sure to ahve other schools (I assume you do).</p>

<p>Honestly i’d say that with those schools it’s all a guessing game. Your stats and extracurriculars are great, but when you’re talking about schools like MIT and Stanford and the really really competitive schools, they’re not just looking for brains and extracurriculars, but they want you to present a unique way of thinking. They want something they’ve never seen before, so i would try to kill it on your application essays. But no matter what you should be really proud, your academics are amazing. good luck!</p>
