-Georgia Tech
-Cornell
-Penn State Univ. Park
-Columbia University FU
-Case Western</p>

<p>ok last question: evaluate my chances plz: does this look right?</p>

<p>-Carnegie Mellon University(applied ED II at CIT (Electrical and Comp Engin.)(they'll make a decision by jan 15 :( they won't see my new physics score)-this is my first choice - match/reach(more of a match i hope?)</p>

<p>-Georgia Tech - match</p>

<p>-Cornell - reach(lower end reach)</p>

<p>-Penn State Univ. Park - safety</p>

<p>-Columbia University FU - big reach</p>

<p>-Case Western - match</p>

<p>feel free to correct me</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>btw, English is not my native language</p>

<p>i'm retaking physics in jan, i can't take that score it doesn't represent what i know about physics. (i'm expecting 750+)</p>

2

<p>i think that if you raise the physics score, columbia isn't a big reach. more like a smaller reach. the only thing that might hurt you is the lower verbal/writing scores, although that may be offset with strong sci/math credentials.</p>

3

<p>thanks</p>

<p>come on guys evaluate my chances at these school please!</p>

4

<p>just one reply... </p>

<p>bump</p>

5

<p>last bump can i get a second reply at least?</p>

6

<p>well, if nobody wants to help me out with my chances, can you guys at least post your stats if you got into CMU(CIT) ED II or RD???</p>

7

<p>I don't think Cornell is such a low reach for you with SATII scores like that - a lot of people from my school with similar stats and better SATIIs got deferred from there ED, so don't overestimate your chances.</p>

8

<p>im not overestimating my chances, im just saying cornell is a lower reach than columbia, that's what i meant.</p>

<p>like i said my #1 choice is CMU(CIT) for Electrical and com engineering and im most interested in my chances there (ED II)</p>

9

<p>i dont think columbia would be that big of reach</p>

10

<p>wow low reach or high reach its still a reach !!</p>

11

<p>ok thx, now how about CMU(CIT)?
admitted ED II? deferred? rejected?</p>

12

<p>Jason -- You never know what an admissions committee will do, but I'd say Cornell is a low reach, and I don't think he's overestimating. With excellent math/sci stats, and decent soft science stats, plus ECs...keep in mind that Cornell's acceptance rate is >30%.</p>

13

<p>thx again, but what about CMU, im most interested in that b/c i applied EDII
????</p>

14

<p>bump</p>

<p>CIT (ECE) chances please</p>

15

<p>I think you estimated your chances pretty accurately</p>

16

<p>I got into GATEch with almost the exact same stats as you. high chance that you will get in there:)</p>

17

<p>ok thanks so you think the ECE dept. at carnegie mellon CIT is almost a match(pretty good chance)?</p>

18

<p>im just gonna bump till i get at least one answer to this question...sorry</p>

19

<p>bumpity bump</p>

<p>CIT (ECE) chances please</p>

20

<p>bump again...</p>
