<p>Impressive resume thus far. I think you’ll get in to Penn State, without a doubt. I think Carnegie Mellon is a match for you, given your statistics, and you’ll probably get in there. Columbia is a bit more of a reach (it’s gotten super competitive recently) but you have outstanding stats so you’ll definitely be competitive for admission there (I was rejected ED :slight_smile: ). Best of luck and I’m sure you’ll get in to most colleges you apply to and have success!</p>

<p>I think you are in at Penn State. Carnegie Mellon seems like a match/high match based on the information given. Columbia is a reach for anyone. It is hard to judge without knowing how involved you were in extracurricular and honors you may have received. However, you definitely have impressive statistics and will end up at a fantastic university. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks Guys!!!</p>

<p>Columbia University: reach
Penn State: low match
Carnegie Mellon: match/high match</p>
