<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>
