<p>Very impressive application, but you still need to have great letters of recs and present a cogently focused representation of yourself. I’m certain you’ll make it to several of those schools.</p>

<p>MIT - low reach
Princeton, Columbia - low reaches
Cornell - match
Stanford, Harvard - reaches
Uchicago, Yale with UPenn - high matches to low reach</p>

<p>What about Carnegie Mellon?</p>

<p>Bump! Bump! Bump!</p>

<p>Unless you only applied to SCS and ECE, you shouldn’t have a problem getting into CMU. I’d be shocked if you didn’t get in.</p>
