Help with estimating my chances...

Well, since your going to be a senior this year, it’s hard to say. I’d say your best bet is trying to make an influence in the community, through fundraising or something along that sort of line. Also, dasdui makes a good point; if you have the ability to use your status as co-captain to put together something that would give back to the community, I’d do it.

But again, in my opinion, your stats are just too low for you to even be considered at MIT/Columbia. Scrap those, keep Carnegie-Melon as a reach, and look for some better-suited match and safety schools.

Good luck!
