<p>USC: You are definitely in, and with the amount of EC’s you have, I could also see you getting s ascholarship.
Duke: You are a good match.
Princeton: Literally a reach for everyone who applies there. IT’s a crap-shoot, but you definitely have the resume to be in contention for a spot. Wouldn’t be surprised if you got in, or didn’t get in.
Yale: Same sort of thing with Princeton
Berkeley: You’re in.
UMIch: you’re in with possible scholarship
NEastern: Dont really know too much about this school. Sorry
Penn State: Would be surprised if you didn’t get lots of scholarship $$</p>

<p>With your resume, I think you should consider applying to some other top tier schools, and not to bash Penn State, but you could have much better safeties. You have a great resume. Chance back please.
