I’d say you have a good chance at all the UCs (Berkley included), Stanford might be a reach, and the rest you can get in to. How do you publish in teen ink?

Stanford: Reach for every applicant
UCB/UCLA: Match-High Match
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Low Match
UCSC/UCR/CSUF/CSULB: Safeties

You look like a competitive applicant and although Stanford is a Reach, you seem very qualified.

Good Luck.

Definitely a good chance for all the UC’s but Stanford might be a reach, not because your acedemics arent good enough but because of Stanford not accepting anyone this year.
