<p>UConn and RPI will be the easiest for you to get into and, conversely, the Ivies will be reaches, primarily due to their notoriously low acceptance rates. Your extracurriculars and course-load are excellent. If I had to give one area to focus on, based on the info provided, it would be SAT and ACT. However, you have put yourself in position to be a strong candidate at all of the schools you mentioned.</p>

<p>Look at other schools in Connecticut as safety schools. It’s hard to find good “match” schools with your qualifications because your match schools would be nearly as selective as Ivy League Schools. Johns Hopkins, Georgia Tech, Duke, MIT, Rice, Northwestern, and UC Berkeley also have excellent engineering programs, and are of varying degrees of slectivity </p>
