Chemical Engineering MS Schools?

[btien]

Hi guys, first post on thegradcafe. I'm applying to MS programs in ChemE and these are my stats:

 

GPA: 3.52 at Princeton University

 

GRE: 170 (Q), 166 (V), 5 (A)

 

Research experience: did an REU last summer and worked at a nonprofit doing lots of lab research this summer. Will also be doing a senior thesis involving a lot of lab work.

 

Schools I'm looking at now:

 

UC Davis

Stanford
UC Berkeley

Cornell

UCSD

Caltech

MIT

 

Does my school list look realistic? Any other schools I should consider?

US News just released the 2015 list of best grade schools, ChemE is below.

Your schools seem realistic.  I had slightly worse stats (but more experience) and basically applied to the top 10 that had my program, which turned out to be 6, I got into 3.  I think you'll be fine.

Hello, first post also. Applying to master programs in ChemE, 3.58 gpa but I'm a chem major at CUNY Hunter. Lab experience at Columbia University for last 1.5 years. GRE: Q:163   

 

Applying to UCLA, UPenn, Delaware, Georgia Tech, Columbia, Purdue, JohnsHopkins, WashU

How realistic are these schools? seems like avg incoming gpa is about 3.4-3.5 but I think that my undergrad school/major may hinder me. I think I have pretty strong LORs and statement though.
