I think Columbia is a high reach and Cornell is a reach, but i believe you have a very good chance at the rest of the schools you mentioned. Best of luck.
Any advice?? Help me, please!!!!

Cornell and Columbia are definitely reaches. The others are either safeties, low reaches are matches so I think you have a decent chance in getting into them. Good luck with your SATs this weekend and chance me back!
