1,000Sorry to hear about Harvard, that's tough. I recently also got rejected just a few days ago. I'm buying no on Berkeley and MIT. I started from base rate of 5%, adjusted upwards for credentials, downwards for no interview and rejection from other top schools. Wouldn't put either above 20%, but I hope you get in.
@prismatic All 3 have gone reasonably well. I had an engaging conversation with the Harvard interviewer and the NYU interviewer seemed very interested in me. UT Austin also went well, I believe the PI liked my answers to their questions.
