Chances for Cornell/Duke/Penn ?? Applying ED

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>As the title suggests:</p>

<p>Stats:
Male, from competitive public HS in MA (class of ~400, about 15-25 to ivies each year)</p>

<p>GPA: ~3.849 UW, 4.6 W (6 APs by graduation plus 2 college classes) - this would be a 3.9+ had it not been for freshman year (upward trend)
Rank: My HS does UW ranks, so I get penalized a bit. I'm around the top 10%- give or take 3/4 spots
SAT: 2010 (retaking later, but will use ACT)
ACT: 33 (36 M, 35 Science, 31 Writing, 31 Reading)
Subject Tests: 790 and 770 on Math lvl 2 and Physics subject tests.
Intended Major: MechE</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: I'm not going to go in much depth but I have a fair amount of ECs related to engineering and science. I have leadership positions in clubs, have gone to state/nationals in competitions and have worked in labs (I intend on sending an additional rec from mentor and/or research abstract)</p>

<p>Main: Robotics (state/national level) and Lab Work (at a top 20 USNWR school, not Cornell)
Secondary: Speech & Debate, Golf, Science Olympiad, etc.</p>

<p>Complete List:
1. Cornell/Duke/Penn (still debating on which one to go ED)
2. Brown
3. Columbia (maybe ed?)
4. MIT
5. Northwestern
6. Rice
7. Michigan
8. Georgia Tech
9. UIUC</p>

<p>Also, could anyone suggest more safeties for engineering schools?</p>

<p>You have a pretty good shot at Cornell and Duke I think, but your class rank might be a problem for Columbia,Brown, and Penn, as well as your SAT/ACT score (good, but not outstanding). </p>

<p>Good engineering schools are Carnegie Mellon University, V Tech, RIT. Chance back?</p>

<p>Sure, can I get a link? Regarding the class rank, I’ll see if I can withhold it. Also, my grade is very competitive and these are UW ranks. If they were weighted ranks, I would definitely be in the top 10%</p>

<p>Ok, then I think you’ll be pretty competitive.

<p>You’ll without a doubt in my mind get into Cornell if you ED.
Duke/Penn: In (80% chance) or Waitlist
Brown: ^Same as Duke Penn
Columbia: If you ED you may have like a 60-40 chance to get in, I’ll say 50-50 here…its like this for everyone though lol.
MIT: Slightly better chance
Northwestern: 90% Chance in
Rice: Unsure
Michigan: most likely in
Georgia Tech: Definitely in
UIUC: unsure</p>
