I am a homeschooled senior who has been attending community college full time since junior year. I have technically graduated from high school by completing all of my high school homeschooled curriculum. I don’t have a lot of people to compare myself to in terms of academics, and, I’m applying for colleges very soon. I’d love to hear what you all think of my chances of getting into schools are! I am hoping to double major in violin performance and some sort of pre-med program.
GPA from homeschool: 4.0
GPA and courses form Community college: Humanities 101, 4.0; Writing Development, 4.0; Pre-Calculus, 4.0; Calculus, 3.5; English 101 with focus on writing, 4.0; Biology 101 with lab, 4.0
Currently taking Physics 101, English with Critical Thinking, and Calculus 2 at community college, and I will be taking more classes next semester!
ACT composite score: 34
SAT subject tests: Not taken yet
EC: I have played the violin seriously for nearly ten years, and I currently study with a former MIT music professor.
I play first violin in a chamber trio with my family. We perform for weddings, senior living centers, and church.
I have attended several chamber music camps in the past and studied under professor from Yale and Stanford at these camps.
I was a member of the junior level of the Denver Youth Symphony Orchestra, and led the second violin section of both the senior and junior levels of the Colorado Youth Symphony Orchestra.
This past summer I had a full time, paid internship with a cybersecurity startup. I worked in their marketing department and focused on social media marketing, optimization, and content.
I have participated in Krav Maga (a fighting style) for three years.
I am applying to several colleges, including: UC Berkeley, UCLA, Rice University, University of Rochester, Indiana University-Bloomington, St. Olaf College, McGill, Scripps, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Baylor, Emory
What do you think my chances are at these schools and if any, what kind of merit aid do you think I could get?
Thanks very much!! 
Also, do I have any chance at getting into top tier schools like Yale, Princeton, and UChicago? Thanks!!
Try posting this in the Homeschool forum, which has a lot of experienced parents. Your grades are good, and the music, but you probably have other activities you should mention, which show how you choose/take on responsibilities and have some impact. And for the science part, some peer-involved math-sci activities. Try to remember some of these colleges will like to see how you interact with peers. (And you will have advanced chem, right?) Also, you need to really dig in and learn what each school is about, what they look for.
First question: can you afford these schools? For certain there is no merit at the UCs. Don’t know what state you in, but the absolute max for an OOS at Indiana is $10-11K, and there are only a couple of those; the rest are under $3K (and not a ton of those).
It is hard for me to see any sort of thread between these colleges.What are you actually looking for from your college environment?
I am looking for colleges with good biology programs and a good music program, which can be hard to find, but all of these schools have this. Some of these schools are on the list because I believe that I could receive good merit aid from them, as I am not eligible for financial aid. Others are there because I like the environment of the school. I can get in state tuition from the UCs, so I am fully capable of paying for them.
Honestly what I am looking for in a school is wherever I believe that I can grow best and can take me where I want to go that I can afford. The smaller teaching colleges really appeal to me because of the personalized attention from the teachers, but I am also looking for the opportunities represented by the larger schools.
In short: I am looking for schools that are good in both biology and music, and have a good environment for me
