Hey guys, so I’ve been feeling dejected since I was rejected by my dream school, Barnard, today. Been feeling a bit insecure about where I’m going to go in general. Below are my stats:
Weighted GPA: 4.32
Non Weighted: 3.92
ACT: 28
ACT Writing: 10
Class Rank: 3
Extracurriculars:
STEM (4 years & President 2016-2017)
Academic Decathlon (3 years & Team Captain from 2015 - Present)
Key Club (4 years, 150+ hours, various positions include Club Treasurer 2016-2017, District of Cali-Nev-Ha Board Officer 2017-2018)
Student Service Foundation (Part of school district board, the only representative for my current high school)
Vietnamese Cultural Dance (Founder & Leader, 3 years)
Filipino Student Club (3 years)
Organizations:
Alexander Hamilton Scholar (one of the 32 students selected from an applicant pool of 600+, attended an all expense paid for Leader Week at NYC, received recognition letters from Senator, Congressman, and Mayor)
Anaheim-Mito Student Exchange Program (one of the 6 students ambassadors to go to Japan for 12 days)
Vietnamese Student Recipient Scholarship ($600 Scholarship)
Additional Info:

Low-income family.
I also applied to UCI, UCSB, Hofstra, Wesleyan, and Trinity. I am planning to apply to Williams, USC, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Tufts, and NYU. Are there any other colleges that you’d think would fit my range?
Thanks!
