<p>You’re a great candidate for those schools. However, Brown and UPenn are reaches for almost anyone.</p>

<p>GT- match
Cornell - high match
Brown, Upenn (if you aren’t recruited, of course) - low reaches to reaches</p>

<p>Thanks. Not too surprising that Brown and Upenn would be harder to get into, but getting into Cornell or Gtown would be great by itself. </p>

<p>Do you know if it’s better to apply early decision or early action to these schools to improve your chances?</p>

<p>Applying ED will significantly improve your chances at Cornell, Brown and Upenn but georgetown less so. They have EA not ED.</p>
