<p>You have a good chance if you can bring up your SATs above a 2100. You probably have an equally good chance in Columbia as you do in Cornell, because Columbia’s engineering program has relatively high acceptance rates. But if you are doing early, you have to choose between Columbia and Cornell. I had to make the same decision (In the last week before I submitted my app because I thought Columbia was early action), and I chose Cornell because it has the best engineering program in the Ivy League. MIT is going to be a far reach for you. You still have a chance, of course, but it’s definitely the hardest on the list.</p>
