@fillerpaper Hi and welcome to CC!

Your SAT seems fine as is your GPA. Your ECs seem to be great as well – what is a “leadership intern” at this camp, what do you mean by “STEM mentor around community” and what is a “scholar” at these various NASA programs?

Overall…

Columbia, UPenn - reach (these Ivies are reaches for almost everyone and admissions are unpredictable)
UCB - high match/low reach

You’re in for Virginia tech and Georgia Tech. Columbia, Upenn, and Berkeley are reaches. I’m not to familiar about U of V SEAS, so I can’t say.
