<p>You look solid for the UCs and USC. I’d call it match/slight reach just because of your SAT scores. The UCs are known for looking more closely at your GPA than your SAT scores however. If you’re going to apply to the engineering school(s), I’d be a bit concerned about your Chemistry score. Your ECs are solid and show a great amount of dedication. I can’t say much about the Liberal Arts Colleges because I think they are more holistic in their approach and quite concerned with how you would work at small school and also with a probably more rigid set of core requirements than at your typical medium/large-sized university.</p>
