<p>So, I am a female engineering student from a small state school in NY. I have a 3.9+ GPA, extensive extra curricular and professional experience. Research experience. Fantastic recommendations. The works.</p>
<p>But how much will my school really hurt me when it comes to getting accepted into graduate programs at places like Stanford, Princeton, UCB, CMU, Columbia etc. Should I even bother applying to places like MIT? </p>
<p>I guess I would like to know what 'level' I am at in terms of reach/match/safety schools.</p>
<p>Any and all feedback is appreciated!</p>
<p>what are your test scores? and it would help if you just listed your all your ec’s, awards, and everything else if you want a more accurate chance.</p>
<p>I have yet to take GREs…that will be Oct 23.</p>

Team SPOT Award (Lockheed Martin monetary award given based on ‘exemplary performance’), Outstanding Scholars Award (Spring 2010, Spring 2009, Fall 2009), Steve Bogart Memorial Scholarship (Spring 2010, Fall 2009), Chrysler Scholarship (Fall 2009), Duane A.
