<p>I don't know where you rank with a 3.5 at your school, but at the top preps a 3.5 isn't bad and should get you into much better privates than the ones on your list, especially with 2200 plus SATs. What about the Claremont colleges?</p>
<p>What other private colleges are more selective/good in california? I currently attend a boarding school with a 25% admission rate. Is that important to a college? Plus I'm on a full ride scholarship here (which was even harder to get into than my high school), with 50 dollars a month stipend, plane tickets paid for. Does this information matter for colleges?</p>
