I expect essays to be great but letters of recommendations to be average.

Is my college list too risky? I’m worried that my list is too reach-heavy, and not enough matches. Can anyone suggest some decent matches for me that are out of state privates? How are my chances at my reaches (better, worse, equal to the average applicant?)
Thank you so much!!

Your list is very reach heavy. I hate to say it, but you’re a typical high-achieving Asian applicant. Make sure that there’s something that sets you apart from others. I would add some more match schools and take off some of the reach schools (although I’m almost 100% positive you’ll get into all of the UCs). Good luck!
