<p>Cooper Union - Not sure. Probably a low/mid reach.
Princeton - High Reach
MIT - High Reach
Carnegie Mellon - Low Reach
Cornell - Reach
Northwestern - Low Reach
CWRU - In
Tulane - In (probably with a scholarship)
Rose Hulman - In
Johns Hopkins - Low Reach
Rice - Low Reach
Rensselaer Polytech - In
Vanderbilt - High Match</p>
<p>Cooper union will be a high reach… Second most selective school in the nation for a reason.</p>
<p>I believe Cooper Union, Princeton and MIT are out of reach… Meaning they are very high reaches. Your ECs are what make many of the school reaches, but those three require a VERY high level of rigor, standardized testing and uniqueness in the essay (essays, ECs, volunteer service, circumstances(Supporting yourself financially while attending school is an example), URM ect).</p>
<p>Dang. That pretty depressing. haha
My EC is weak but it’s mostly centered on music and i kinda explained why i inevitably sought musical opportunities.
I just wanna get into one of the good schools. like…vandy or northwestern or above.
Maybe i’m hopeless!</p>
<p>Low Reach basically means that you are in the running and have a good shot, but don’t bank on it. Mid Reach means you have a shot, but the school is so selective there is no way to be sure. High Reach means you still have some shot, but odds are not great that you’ll get in.</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into csuf, have a 3.31 gpa, already got admitted into csudh, gonna have 2 ap classes on my transcript, and other activities?</p>
