<p>You shoud get into MIT, Stanford, and Caltech. But luck is also required as well because so many good students apply there, deans look at hooks such as talents in language & etc. so you will get in, but just for safety apply to Cal-Berkeley and Columbia</p>

<p>Hmmm though your scores are excellent, perhaps you should look at other less selective schools. Though you have decent chances, you should definitely apply to safer schools. To the above poster, noobdy applies to Columbia "just for safety." That is a longshot too.</p>

<p>Thank you for the replies. Could I have suggestions for which schools I should apply to for safety? I understand that getting into the three schools that I listed is tough, and I definitely will be applying to more.</p>
