What are my chances at the top-engineering schools?

That’s what I was afraid of. No big deal on MIT though, I’m also looking into applying to UIUC, Cornell, Iowa State, GA Tech, John Hopkins, and Purdue. I know some of those are a long shot, but what would be my chances for those? I have already applied to University of Iowa, but I decided to really look what else is out there. And the title of “Best party school” kind of worries me.

I’m looking into going into Chemical Engineering, so out of those listed above which is the best in that particular field? Also how is the social life/culture of those places. I am going to college for mainly academics but I want to have some social fun. And thanks for the reply swamp.

Also my school doesn’t seem to offer many AP classes, just AP Calc., Bio., Government, English, and Economics. All of which I could go into, although I would not prefer the english-related ones.
