<p>In all honesty, your portfolio will probably decide whether you get into Cornell or not. Everyone else apart from Columbia and Princeton seems like a solid match. Both the ivies are tricky, not sure how their architecture programs scout for students.</p>

<p>Honestly, this looks really great. I would say that you would have a high chance of getting into most of these schools. I feel like you would get into Carnegie Mellon since you have a history with them and that your credentials are up to par. If the Cornell professor said that your portfolio was really good, then I think you do have a good chance with them as well.</p>
