<p>Stretch/Dream:
Vanderbilt (ED 1)- Accept, I’ve heard from accepted peers that Vandy puts a pretty high emphasis on experience and volunteer hours, in which you have.
John Hopkins- Accept/Waitlist
Dartmouth- Waitlist
Cornell- Accept/ Waitlist
Carnegie Mellon- Waitlist, CMU will always have engineering majors, those applicants will have the most selective admissions
U Penn- Waitlist, UPenn engineering is basically impossible to get into, though you have a great chance!</p>
<p>Right:
Rensselaer- Accept
Colgate- Accept
NYU- Accept/Waitlist
UCLA- Accept/Waitlist, same story as CMU
USC- Accept/ Waitlist
UC Berkley- Accept/ Waitlist</p>
<p>Safety:
UCI- Accept
UCR- Accept
UC Davis- Accept
UCSD- Accept</p>
<p>I feel like this looks a little cruel with all the waitlists- you have phenomenal ECs and experience; I think that your only fall back is that most of these schools are fairly unpredictable and your major requires you to apply to engineering schools, which is becoming most schools (especially the elites) most popular major, its also the most selective colleges at a university. I’m sure you’ll have a pretty good yield out of these choices. Good luck and congratulations on your already great achievements!</p>
