<p>I think you have good chances for most of the schools though some of the schools on the list, such as Princeton, are very unpredictable. I will say, though, that you have good awards and ECs, showing a good amount of leadership, but you should make sure that they are more focused and that you have done them for at least 2 years. I would also increase your SAT I score a little bit, if possible - try for 2250+. Also, bring up your weighted GPA to 4.3+ and write great essays/get great recs. Good luck.</p>

<p>MIT- you can never really predict results with this school, but i’d call it low reach
Princeton- same
Stanford- same, i know too many geniuses who got rejected by this school :frowning: 8% acceptance rate dude
Dartmouth- idk enough about to chance
Duke- same
Rice- same
Columbia- high target/low reach. again, extremely competitive school so hard to predict chances
Caltech- low reach
Definitely in to all the UC’s but LA might be a high target since it’s also extremely competitive
Carnegie Mellon- probably target
idk about the rest lol sorry! but i’m sure you’ll get into a bunch of these schools. you have great stats, don’t stress over it. good luck!</p>

<p>You have a really large amount of schools on your list…</p>

<p>Hahah I know… It’s cause this year alot of people were rejected from places they should’ve ggotten into easily at my school but they got rejected, so Ima play it safe… I’m thinking of of putting different schools in and taking out some of the harder ones.</p>

<p>I am taking the SAT’s in June and aiming for a 2300 or better and will take AP Physics B and Calculus BC and SAT 2 Physics in the next month also.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
