<p>Hi everyone, I'm a Chinese high school student applying to US colleges. Because I'm doing a lot of pretty top schools, I'm a little worried whether my safeties are safe enough.</p>
<p>Intended Major: CS
TOEFL: 113 (Reading 30/Listen 30/Speaking 24/Writing 29), taken once
SAT I: 2290 (Writing 780/CR 710/Math 800), taken once
SAT II: 2400 (Chem 800/Physics 800/Math Lv2 800), taken once
AP: Calculus BC 5/Statistics 5/CS A 5, taken once
High school courses: Honors Curriculum in Math & Science (Recognized as HL by UC)
GPA (weighted): 4.14/4.36
Awards: HiMCM 1st Prize, Informatics Olympiad National 1st Prize, Canadian Computing Competition (Senior) 1st Prize, plus some regional.
Activities: Started and developed a distributed computing project, Parkour, piano, plus some other things.</p>
<p>My safeties are GaTech, UCLA, UMich-Ann Arbor, and Washington St. Louis.
I EAed GaTech, which should give me a bigger chance, and RDed the other three. Are they really that safe? I'm a little bit anxious since I know for Stanford-MIT-Caltech-CMU schools it's mostly a long shot.</p>
