<p>I’d say Harvard and CMU CS are both reaches, but that’s for everyone. Cornell is probably a low reach (still great CS department) and WashU is closer to a high match.</p>

<p>Harvard- reach
CMU- low reach (CS is super competitive)
Cornell- low reach
WashU- low reach</p>

<p>I think people here underestimate the competitiveness of WashU. I’ve heard of people getting rejected from there who get into Harvard. </p>

<p>Good luck! I hope you get in!</p>
