Chances?

You look like a qualfied applicant, but the Ivies are a Reach for everyone. All you can do is apply and hope for the best. You should also narrow down your Ivy choices, since they all have a very different “vibe”.

Carnegie Mellon is supposed to have the best compsci program in the country, but it’s very selective. You need an 800 on the math section of the SAT, a 5 on BC Calc, and you should take either linear algebra or multivariable calculus to have a solid chance.
