<p>UPenn will prob pose you with the most trouble, although you have great shots at all the schools. You should expand on ECs and make sure your essays are very well done. Carnegie and NYU should be safeties, unless your going for NYUs Stern program.</p>

<p>Why would UPenn be a problem??</p>

<p>UPenn is an Ivy that's basically a Reach for just about everybody. Brown is also probably a Reach(but I don't think it would be as hard to get into as UPenn). University of Chicago, I would put as a Match.
Carnegie Mellon & NYU, I would say both are Match/Safties.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>I think your chances for all the schools look great, especially with URM status.</p>
