<p>With a great essay, I think your chances are good at Chicago (more than 50%). Might as well apply EA since it's non-binding (check me on this). Wash U is not need-blind so full pays have some advantage. Carleton gives significant advantage to ED applicants, and I don't think it's need-blind either. Ivies (Dartmouth) are unpredictable. Probably in at Carnegie Mellon. Likely rejected at Berkeley (too hard to get in out of state). In at UT-A by the 10% rule, right?</p>

<p>I can speak for UVA since i am an out of state student there. You're chances look pretty decent. UVA wants to see some strong essays, they are VERY VERY particular about their essays on their apps. If you write a strong essay, you have a competitive chance.</p>
