<p>I think your looks fine, but not yet complete.
UCLA and Berklee would probably count as reaches - every school with a acceptance rate below 30 percent is automatically. So you would have 6 reaches, which is a little too much. What you are missing are real match schools (UCSD I guess would be one), so schools where you have a good chance of being accepted to although there is no guarantee. Also, if you are headed for engineering, check out whether you actually have guaranteed admission into your program.</p>
