<p>Thing is, your stats are pretty good but nothing amazing.
Stanford: Reach
Yale: Reach
UCB: High Match
Duke: Reach
Michigan: High Match
Penn: Reach
Remember Ivies are reaches for everyone</p>

<p>I second what swiftyfan13x said: Ivies are reaches for everyone. I do however believe that Berkeley and Michigan are more possible than a high match.</p>

4

<p>SAT score and SAT II Math is kind of low for Stanford, especially for econ/engineering.</p>

5

<p>Most schools on your list do not superscore ACT. A few will consider individual section scores though. So you may want to send both your SAT1 and ACT scores to most of the schools. My assessment is similar to swiftyfan13x except low reach for Duke as they will look at individual section scores.</p>
