Class of 2011 Safety, Good fit, or Reach Schools...deciding where to apply!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rice University

<p>Here are the schools I'm looking at. I live in California.</p>

<p>USC
UCLA
Berkeley
UCSD
Stanford
Occidental
Pomona
Claremont McKenna
Vanderbilt
Wash U at St. Louis
Rice
Harvard
Princeton
Brown
Columbia </p>

<p>I know that's a lot but I'm trying to narrow it down to 10-12. </p>

<p>Here's my info:</p>

<p>2290 SAT score
4.17 GPA (4.0 unweighted)
National Recognition Hispanic Scholar (Puerto Rican)
National Merit Quarterfinalist (so far)
lettered in both varsity football and baseball
Sports Editor of school newspaper
took summer class at local college</p>

<p>how do I stack up with the schools listed? any suggestions? right now I'm leaning towards California schools but open to out of state as well. I am on the borderline for financial aid so schools where I could get merit-based scholarships is hugeee for me. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
