<p>You should have no problem for UCLA, UCSD, and perhaps a couple other ones. Your class rank is good. There are a handful of reach schools on your list, but you can give them a try if money is not an issue. You may be accepted by one of them.</p>
<p>You look pretty good to me for some of your schools. Something like cornell, johns hopkins, ga tech, and berkeley might be a little tough. If you want to be a stronger contendor, try working on that SAT score if possible. Good Luck!</p>
