<p>I talked with the counselors and they said to apply Early Decision will help a lot.
I'm applying to Carnegie Mellon too for Tepper Business. I really fell in love with the school and its campus. It's all green, quite, pretty, and compact. Meanwhile the busy city is a pretty quick walk so it makes you feel all important on your private hill lol.</p>

<p>Harvard is an unrealistic reach. The other reaches will be really tough with current sats.</p>
