<p>I dunno much about any of the UCs, or Emory, or vanderbuilt. However I think that you are in at unc, UVA (assuming it is simmilar to unc admissions) and gwu. Duke is probably a low reach/match for you. Being in state will certainly help you though. Best of luck.</p>

Idk about any schools but the UC’s, but you look like you have an almost definite in at San Diego and a good chance at Berkeley. nice extracurriculars. I wish my school had IB’s, they look so good on an app!</p>
