Home state? What can you are your parents afford?

High income, parents can afford anything – Home State: CA

Your GPA is low for some of the schools you listed…being Asian probably won’t help, possibly hurt you. Why are you taking 4 subject tests? Anyway, it is worth applying to all the schools you listed except Stanford.
