<p>Incredible test scores and very good GPA. As first generation, I’d say you have a fair chance at Berkeley, UCLA, WashU, Caltech, Cornell and Williams. Very good chance for UCSD and UCSB.
With MIT, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale, plenty of people with incredible stats get turned away every year just due to sheer number of applicants and how low the acceptance rates are. However, you have done what you need to do in high school, so I would say apply wherever you think you will be happy to live for the next four years and let the cards fall.</p>
