<p>Your GPA and SAT are very good and your ECs show a passion for engineering. I’d say that Berkeley and CMU are both matches. Cornell is a low reach because it is an ivy league school and your SAT score could be higher. Good luck!</p>

<p>It’d be great if you could answer my questions:</p>

<p>I think you have a solid chance at CMU. I have two friends that got in RD from my school last year with worse stats than you. Applying ED certainly helped those chances. Good luck, chance back please!</p>
