<p>I have a S with similar GPA/scores, etc. at a school that sends lots of kids to Ivies, etc. and my sense is that your list is a bit reachy. Certainly moreso than my S would be comfortable with. I can understand that you are hoping to aim high and see what hits, but you need to make sure you have LIKELIES that you would be happy attending.</p>
<p>What is the common link between these schools other than prestige and what seems to be a science bent? Why do you like them?</p>
<p>CMU selectivity varies widely among the different schools, depending on what you plan to study. UMich – apply early. At the schools I’m familiar with, JHU ED works very well for students in your range, but it is still reachy.</p>
<p>I assume you realize you cannot apply to Georgetown and Chicago EA, along with Yale SCEA. Furthermore, you cannot apply to Georgetown or Yale EA if you are applying ED elsewhere.<br>
