<p>You are a well qualified canidate for all of these schools, strong sat/ and academics, EC's are great! but don't strive towards any ambitions. Liberal Art Schools iam not sure how to tally as their admition charts are a bit different than the standard universities. Dartmouth will be reach manly because of its Ivy status; however, you will be a good canidate, and i hope you get in. Its been a while since i looked at university acceptance rates, so sorry if i mess up or if they are a bit unrealistic. Tried to base this off other applicants with similar stats.</p>

<p>let me give you some advice… CMU is a good school, but they are primarily for people wanting to go into engineering… plus they wont give a ton of money seeing as you’re middle class</p>

<p>hope it helps for that school, but impressive bro! good luck</p>

<p>If you’re middle class and need aid, forget Berkeley which won’t give you any beyond what you might qualify for Federally.</p>

<p>You are not out of the running at any school. With the proper positioning of a passion, great essays and great recs, any school is worth a shot.</p>
