<p>In at Georgia Tech and RPI.</p>

<p>All those schools are matches and low matches except for MIT (which would be a reach)</p>

<p>Thanks for chancing me.</p>

<p>You are a great fit for all of the above schools. But, as for anyone, MIT is a reach. However, your focused interest is something that sets you apart from many applicants there, as I believe that many college applicants these days do not have a specific field, such as aeronautical engineering to point to. Moreover, your extracurriculars show a clear interest in the field and I have heard colleges look for that. Also, I would recommend taking the physics SAT II, it has a generous curve.</p>

<p>Chance me back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/columbia-university/1524541-chance-thread-columbia-university-2018-a.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/columbia-university/1524541-chance-thread-columbia-university-2018-a.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks “whiskey1tango”.</p>

<p>Yeah I am also applying to Georgia tech and you seem like a good candidate for that school.</p>

<p>Most of those seem to be matches or safeties other than MIT, which is of course a reach</p>
