<p>I def think you can get into jhu, u mich, case western, and ohio state. Cornell you prob need to raise ur SATs a lil bit and u got a chance, same with Northwestern, and Stanford...hey anything can happen.</p>

<p>ps: i forgot to add UPenn to the list!</p>

<p>and would it make a difference if im planning on applying to the engineering colleges since they tend to be harder? bc the only B's i've ever gotten were in math and science classes and i never had any math/science EC's on my list.oops..</p>

<p>UPenn - Big reach
cornell - Reach
northwestern - Reach
u of michigan - Match
u of virginia - Reach
johns hopkins - Reach
case western - Low match/Safety
ohio state - Safety
stanford - Big reach</p>

<p>If it's engineering/tech you want, look at Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, Rochester Institute of Technology, Illinois Institute of Technology, Lehigh, and Purdue.</p>
