Chances of getting into Stanford, MIT, Cornell?

If you wrote a completely amazing essay & applied to Cornell Early Decision then its possible. MIT, no, Stanford I would be surprised. Your ACT kinda saves your low GPA for those types of schools. I think you have a pretty good chance at Illinois, Wash., & UNC. Carnegie Mellon you might but Texas-Austin would also be kinda a stretch because of the amount they accept out-of-state. If your talking about USC as in South Carolina then yes but I'm almost positive your not haha but Southern Cal might also be a stretch, not sure. You should be fine though with your choices.
