<p>Pratt School of Engineering (Duke)
Columbia U's Fu Foundation</p>

<p>My view is you are a little better than 50-50 for these two schools (slightly better at Duke than Columbia. I'd say Match at Duke and Slight Reach at Columbia--especially since Duke is not as concerned about the ECs--and your ECs are the only weak part of your application.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>P.S. Also apply to Carnegie-Mellon, Wake Forest, and Georgia Tech. You are a match at all three in my view.</p>
