<p>Your ECs are REALLY focused what you want to major in, which is why I think you have a decent chance at most of these schools. I think you should get a rec letter from the guidance counselor who actually likes you more. </p>

<p>Cornell: Low Reach
Penn: Med-High Reach
William and Mary: Low match
Princeton: High Reach (it is for everyone)
UVA: Med-High Match
Columbia: Med-Reach</p>

<p>ED or not, your chances of getting into Dyson are greatly reduced by the fact that you are out of state. Why not McIntire at UVA instead? You’d be in-state and you have those two legacies so you’d probably have a much easier time of being accepted there.</p>

<p>Thanks for your assessment, UVA is certainly on my list to apply to!</p>
