<p>Stanford/Ivies/MIT a reach like they are for everyone, the rest (excluding Caltech) seem to be a combo of low reaches/high matches. I don’t think you really have a shot at Caltech as they are a lot more focused on academic performance, so your low GPA might knock you out, especially since you don’t have many strong science/math-based EC’s (and Caltech doesn’t practice AA); still, you might as well apply.</p>
<p>I recommend adding other UC’s (Davis, SD) and maybe the lower end ones as your safeties, since it’s just checking more boxes (and paying a fee for each).</p>
