<p>It's never for sure at the schools you are applying to, but you should be fine with all of them. You are good enough to be accepted, with good essays and recs, you are in.</p>

<p>Cambridge, King's College (international applicant)- Always hard internationally
Rice- You should be in. (Why Rice? I haven't heard great things about their science programs.)
Purdue (double + more legacy)- In
UPenn- High match, low reach
Cornell University- You should be in.</p>

<p>It's always a crapshoot, buy your stats are amazing.</p>

<p>thanks!
(I hear Rice has a good CS program, that's all)</p>
