I don't know which are targets or if all are reaches at this point, but for mechanical engineering:
VT--in state Purdue Michigan GA Tech UVA--in state |

It's easy. Look at % acceptance. If OOS, GT has a 9% acceptance rate. For anyone, that's a reach. At that point, acceptance is very random. Not sure about stats on Michigan, but I'm guessing similar. Schools like Purdue, VT looking are at about 30% or higher OOS and In-state even higher % of acceptance. |

Purdue GT RIT All are reaches except maybe RIT which is more of a target. VT is top choice. |

You have a great chance at Berkeley because they will love to take your tuition dollars. You can find your actual high school (presumably in Wisconsin?) and see how Berkeley has treated it in admissions. |

If people tell you, potentially one fewer spot for their kid |

In case it's helpful, my kid, HS class of '25, applied to:
Cornell (reach) Hopkins (reach) CMU (low reach) UMD in-state (target) VT (safety) Attending UMD with honors and merit. Accepted at VT, WL at CMU, and rejected from Cornell & Hopkins. He applied as engineering, undecided. If the university required a specific major within eng, I'm not sure what he put. |
