<p>Between your GPA, test scores, and extracurriculars, there are no holes in your application. I don’t think improving your SAT will benefit you that much because you already have a 33 ACT however it can’t hurt to improve your score.
BC- Match
UC’s- match, match, match, safety
USC (can’t tell if this is what you meant by SC) - Match
BU- Safety
Chicago, Princeton, Stanford, UPenn- Reaches, as they are for almost all other applicant (you are at least qualified)
Georgetown- Your internship should help reinforce your application, I would say it is a high match</p>

<p>Please chance me (similar schools)

<p>Your extra-curriculars seem pretty impressive (“Teaching at a bilingual school in China” really stood out to me…)</p>

<p>Anyways, BU and UWash are matches. I would have to say that all of your California schools (besides Stanford) are probably matches, maybe high matches. The other ones are pretty much toss-ups. It’s hard to tell with what exactly those schools are looking for sometimes. But you should definitely apply, you are a good candidate for Georgetown, UPenn, Stanford and UChicago. </p>

<p>A note for Georgetown, they only look at CR and M sections of SAT and don’t super-score. Regardless, you have a very strong application there. I’d say high match.</p>

<p>Schools like UChicago, Princeton, Stanford, and UPenn are a lottery for even the most qualified applicants. That being said, with your extensive ECs, I definitely think you will be competitive in those schools (despite being reaches).
I would say BU could be considered a safety.
Brandeis, GWU, UWash and the UC schools are matches (schools like UCLA, UC Berkeley or Tufts are probably a little more high-matches, but your chances there are still pretty good). </p>

<p>Match schools: BC, BU (possibly a safety), UCLA, UCSD, Tufts, Brandeis
Safety: UCSC- you may want to consider applying to UCSB as another safety!
Reach (these are pretty much reach for anyone!!): uchicago, princeton, stanford, upenn, UCberk (not that far of a reach but it’s still pretty competitive)</p>

<p>I don’t know much about the other schools. good luck!</p>

<p>Pretty good for all, reaches for the usual top schools.</p>

<p>HOWEVER, make sure not to write too much about your trip to china or something else that makes you sound like you are more “privileged” and snooty etc.</p>

<p>Its kinda common in top tier schools, I know that</p>

<p>Thanks all!</p>
