<p>Great stats and ECs! You should list all or at least the most important awards you recieved -- these awards will distinguish you from all the other applicants. I think you have a decent chance at all your desired schools. Write an exemplary essay and make sure you don't send your two AP scores of 3.</p>
<p>You have a great record! But make sure to apply to some safeties. About AP scores- they aren't a big factor and only help you, so send the 3s. It looks better to colleges that you took the test. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>thanks for the input you guys!</p>
<p>You could probably consider USC a safety.</p>
<p>As a man who has recently lived through the rigor of the college application process, let me say that your choices are suitable; yet, in no way should you believe you will get into any of your schools 2-7. I'm not saying you can't get in; however, no one on this board can tell you that an Ivy will accept you. Still, the rest, including UC Berk, are all pretty much guarantees</p>
