I think that should be enough to give me an accurate read. If I’m missing something just reply. Thanks!

Although you are VERY qualified, pretty much any school with an acceptance rate under 15% is a reach to everyone (UPenn, Princeton, Brown, Pomona, Vandy, Rice). The rest are solid matches (though Tulane and Case Western are lower matches, almost safeties)

Pack some solid safeties and you’ll be fine!

Chance me back!

You should apply to UCLA and CalTech.

Only apply to UCLA if your parents can afford to pay full fees, no FA for OOS students.
