<p>I’m afraid I don’t know between Cornell’s different schools; I do have the impression that ED provides a significant (although not huge) boost there. I’m pretty sure Berkeley would also be a low reach for a full-pay OOS-er, since their OOS percentage has been soaring in the wake of California’s budget troubles. (Low reach meaning 20-35% chance of admittance, give or take on the high end). I don’t know about CMU, but Stanford and MIT are high reaches for anybody.</p>
