<p>The main problem I see in your application are your EC’s. You don’t really have many (which is fine) but the ones you do have don’t really showcase a specific passion that you may have and the fact that you weren’t involved in many of them for very long doesn’t really help. </p>
<p>Stanford and MIT are pretty huge reaches (but they are for practically everyone)…</p>
<p>If you love Cornell and/or Penn and want to have the best possible chance at either, I’d recommend applying early to either because as of now, I’d consider both Penn and Cornell very realistic reaches (in other words, perfect for Early Decision). </p>
<p>For engineering/business, I’d recommend Columbia SEAS, Lehigh, Washu, UMich and Carnegie Mellon.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
