<p>I think these colleges (with the exception of Michigan, Emory and Villanova) are all low to high reaches. You seem to have a great GPA, especially coming from such a respectable prep school, and very good SAT scores, but you do come off like the ordinary prep school kind of guy, racking up tons of community service hours and participating intensively in sports without really demonstrating a talent or a passion. However, I’d say your best chance out of these super-selective schools would be at Dartmouth. You seem like a match for them, and you have double legacy, which will help you immensely.
Hope I helped!
Please chance me too!

<p>Berkeley and UCLA are reaches?
My weighted GPA is around 4.6 - 4.7 + above average test scores.</p>

<p>I have won individual awards several times for football and tennis.
I forgot to mention, but my true passions are mountain biking and surfing which I’m using in my essays.</p>

<p>UC GPA is capped at 4.4 i think (they only count up to 8 semesters of honors/aps in uc 10th-11th gpa)
No berkeley and ucla are matches. Good Luck :)</p>
