<p>Wow, your stats are really impressive so far. Your course rigor is excellent. In order to chance more accurately, you would need to have your SAT’s, but assuming you do well on them…
MIT - reach
CalTech - low reach
Cornell - low/mid reach
Carnegie Mellen - high match/low reach
Columbia - mid reach</p>

<p>MIT - reach
CalTech - low reach
Cornell - low reach
Carnegie Mellen - high match
Columbia - reach</p>

<p>you just need a high SAT to really finish the package. good luck</p>

5

<p>I’m sure with some prep you can raise that SAT. You’re in good shape. Keep up the good work!</p>

6

<p>MIT - A reach no matter what
CalTech - Reach/Possible Match
Cornell - Reach/Possible Match
Carnegie Mellen - Decent Match
Columbia - Reach</p>

<p>Those are some tough schools. I would say that, provided your grades don’t tank and your scores turn out all right, you’ll get into Carnegie Mellon and have a decent chance at the other schools - however, your precise chances at Caltech, Cornell, and Columbia depend on factors that none of us can accurately gauge.</p>

<p>MIT - reach
CalTech - low reach/reach
Cornell - high match/low reach
Carnegie Mellen - high match
Columbia - reach</p>

<p>Thnx for chancing me btw :)</p>

<p>Um, I’ll also be the first in my family to go to college… My mom’s a single mother… (don’t think that’ll help my chances but… :D)</p>

11

<p>Yeah, I’d concur with everyone else, Get that SAT up and you’re pretty set.</p>

<p>BTW could you re chance with new given info? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/847776-chance-me-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/847776-chance-me-please.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

12

<p>MIT - reach
CalTech - low reach…
Cornell - match
Carnegie Mellen - match
Columbia - reach</p>

13

<p>MIT, Caltech, and Columbia are reaches for anybody, but you’re ECs and APs are stacked so you have a decent chance.
Cornell is a slight reach but you have a solid chance.
Carnegie Mellon should be a match.</p>

14

<p>Counthobo has my same opinion :D</p>

<p>chance back please

15

<p>You’re competitive, but it’s hard to tell anything without an SAT.</p>

16

<p>Phenomenal stats!! You’re application will go a long way with those grades and ec’s pushing it. A good SAT and i’d say:</p>

<p>MIT - reach
CalTech - low reach
Cornell - high match/low match
Carnegie Mellen - low match
Columbia - low reach</p>

17

<p>reach except high match at CM</p>

18

<p>MIT - reach for everyone
CalTech - Reach/ Match
Cornell - Reach/ Match
Carnegie Mellen - Match
Columbia - Reach</p>

<p>Good job and good luck!</p>

<p>Would you mind chancing me? Thanks!
