What are my chances at: Cornell (ED), Carnegie Mellon, NYU, UPenn, Drexel, Stevens, Georgia Tech, Duke (ALL EA if available, Cornell ED (top choice)) also any other recommendations of where to apply?
Thank you very much!!!

Cornell reach
Carnagie Mellon low reach (cs reach)
NYU high match
UPenn reach
Drexel low match
Georgia Tech high match
Duke reach

maybe apply to MIT and CalTech for the heck of it

UT and Berkeley are good

Haha thanks but is Cornell more of a reach than Carnegie Mellon? Ive heard its not that hard to get into with ED so just asking. Also how is financial aid and scholarships at Berkley and how hard is it to get in

Cornell- low reach(definitely doable ED)
CMU- low reach
NYU- high match/match
Duke- low reach
Drexel- safety
UPenn- reach/Low reach
GT- high match (much more difficult OOS but ACT should get you in)

If you are worried about financial aid, Cornell, from my experience, isn’t the best. Also NYU is notoriously bad. You ACT score really ties it all together nicely. Good ECs. A competitive candidate for any of these.

I’m not familiar with Stevens but you should be a competitive applicant at Berkley. Good luck!
