<p>Tell me what you think about these schools and whether or not I have a chance:
~Carnegie Mellon University (ED)
~Johns Hopkins University (maybe ED bc Carnegie has the policy that will let me apply more than one ED)
~University of Virginia
~University of Maryland College Park (Priority)
~Boston University
~Virginia Tech
~University of Maryland Baltimore County
~Rutgers New Brunswick
~Lehigh University
~Penn State Univ. Park</p>
<p>Any other good engineering schools out there that I have a chance at please add!! Also whether I should send in a tape for violin even though I'm not going to pursue a career with it in college. I heard colleges like it. </p>
<p>CMU, JHU, and UVA are obvious reaches for me especially because of my GPA but I want to know if there is a chance for them. If I apply CMU ED do I have a better edge? The more I look at it, the more I want to go to there.</p>
<p>If I write stellar essays and get good teacher reccs, do you guys think I have a chance for my top five colleges?</p>
