<p>I'm not sure about all the schools you posted, but for the ones I do know about, heres my ideas:</p>

<p>UCB: Mid-Reach
Stanford: High-Reach
Cornell: Mid-Reach/Match</p>

<p>This is only because of your SATs/GPA, bring up those and you're set, the rest of your profile is great! :)</p>

<p>like the rest of them say, up your SAT's and you're good to go.</p>

13

<p>Ill chance the Cali schools since i know them best :)</p>

<p>Standford-Reach
Cal Berkeley- high match/slight reach</p>

<p>you know, i live pretty close to UCB and I honestly dont think its <em>that</em> hard of a school to get into....ehh whatever </p>

<p><a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/641938-cal-poly-ucsb-pepperdine-other-ucs-csus.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/641938-cal-poly-ucsb-pepperdine-other-ucs-csus.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>U California (Berkeley)
Stanford
Cornell</p>

<p>I'm nearly positive you'll get into all of the schools but these three.</p>

<p>People are underestimating Berkeley (sorry to be the bringer of bad news). Its INCREDIBLY hard to get into out of state. You'd be fine if you were in CA, but now your about the same as you are for Cornell.</p>

<p>Which brings me to Cornell. I don't know what your GPA is on a 4.0 scale, but from other replies it looks fine. Your SATs are what seem to be holding you back, but I think you can still get in assuming you wrote good essays, but I'm not gonna lie, they are definately reaches. I like your upper 5% btw!</p>

<p>And Stanford is... Stanford. I'll wish you good luck, but don't get your hopes up like I think you (sorta) can for Cornell + UC Berkeley.</p>

<p><a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/648840-chance-chance.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/648840-chance-chance.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

15

<p>qwertylad, good point, he would be applying from out of state....I was think as if he was an in-state like myself</p>

16

<p>Berkeley is upping the number of OOS kids this year because it needs the money. If you look in the archives of OOS kids who got in last year their stats seemed no different than in state kids.</p>

<p>I think it's a myth that it's much harder for OOS students. The fact is not many apply. It's over $40K per year with no aid from the school and only 50% graduate in 4 years. So if you have to plan on the 5th year that's the same price at the top privates without the same resources.</p>

<p>I'd call Berkeley a match: 50/50.</p>

17

<p>most schools on your list look like a match, except stanford, because they like sports crazed captains.. </p>

<p>but i wish i could see a little bit of leadership on your app.
besides that everything else looks fine. :]</p>

18

<p>U Illinois (U-C) [Chem Engineering]- Match
Rensselaer Polytech- In for sure (my freind got in and you're a lot better of a student than him)
Worcester Polytech (In state)- In
U Virginia- Reach
Penn State (University Park)- Low match
U California (Berkeley)- High match, low reach
Stanford- Reach
Cornell- Low reach (assuming your essays were excellent)
NYU Poly- High match</p>

<p>Good luck. Chance me back if you can ! </p>
