<p>Caltech: Reach
MIT: Reach
Cornell: Low reach
NWU: Low reach
Rice: Low reach
CMU: Match/high match
Berkeley: Match
UCLA: Match
UCSD: Low match</p>

<p>Try UIUC, Georgia Tech and Purdue for safeties if you want to do CS or AeroE</p>

<p>THANKS SO MUCH for the chance and the tips. I really needed some outside opinion</p>

<p>I would call CMU a reach because you are an ORM (they have SO many Asians there), other then that I agree with OP.</p>

<p>Caltria is pretty accurate, though I expect you to get into at least one ivy. Cornell is probably a high match rather than low reach, but you have a chance at all those schools.</p>
