<p>Some more that i cant remember atm as well.</p>
<p>what about my other schools (all engineering except nyu):
columbia
brown
carnegie mellon
michigan
northwestern
NYU (business)
Univeristy of Illinois</p>
<p>Hate to pop the bubble here, but you're not getting a realistic assessment of your chances.</p>
<p>Given your current SAT scores, Penn is a reach whether you apply ED or RD, even with your legacy status. If you score over 2250 in your retake, then you'll have a decent chance. By the way, Penn really likes kids with high class rank. If you're among the top 10 in your class (not top 10%, top 10), you have a much better chance of being accepted, as long as your SATs are strong.</p>
<p>As for the other schools on your list:</p>
<p>columbia - Reach
brown - Reach
carnegie mellon - Match
michigan - Match/Slight Reach (but apply soon. UMich has rolling admissions and the earlier you apply, the better your chances)
northwestern - Reach
NYU (business) - Reach (Stern is very tough to get into, almost as tough as Wharton)
University of Illinois - Slight reach (because you're out of state)</p>
<p>You absolutely need to add some matches and safeties to your list.</p>
<p>Amptron, I honestly don't know why you think it's so hard to get into NYU(Stern)/U of Illinois.</p>
<p>columbia - Reach
brown - Reach
carnegie mellon - Match
michigan - Match
northwestern - Match / Slight Reach
NYU (business) - Match
Univeristy of Illinois - Safe Match</p>
<p>Stern is ranked #5 by U.S. News and #7 by Business Week in their rankings of B schools. Lots of kids who apply to Wharton, MIT (Sloan), and the other top B schools also apply to Stern. The competition is fierce and you have to have really good stats to get accepted.</p>
<p>U of Illinois (and I'm assuming the Urbana-Champagne campus) has become, like many good state schools, more difficult for out of state residents. From what I've read, UIUC is giving much greater preference to in-state kids as the result of pressure from in-state parents who want their kids to go to a good school and who resent subsidizing out of state kids with their tax dollars. This means fewer openings for out of state kids, and, because of the competition for the fewer openings, lets UIUC apply more selective criteria to its out of state applicants.</p>
<p>Q. would i have any chance at the M&T program at penn? say if my SAT went up to 2250ish..?</p>
<p>A small chance, sure, but probably only in the 10 to 15% range. By the way, you might get better answers to your questions about Penn on the CC University of Pennsylvania thread. Here's the address:</p>
