Good college list for my stats/college recs?

College Search & Selection
1

Hey, I’m a rising senior and I just made a college list that I’m hoping to get some advice on. I’m not sure if I have enough of matches/safeties and if I even have a chance at the schools I’m reaching for (nyu, usc, etc).

Here’s my list so far:
University of Washington
UC Irvine
UVA
USC
University of Texas, Austin
Loyola Marymount University
San Diego State University
Boston University
Villanova University
NYU
Fordham University

Here are some of my stats, feel free to ask if I’m missing anything:
Overall Weighted GPA: 4.15
Overall Unweighted GPA: 3.85
New SAT (October): 1450
AP’s: US History (5), Psychology (5), Spanish Language (5), English Language and Composition (5), Calculus AB (5), World History (3)

EC’s/Awards:
-Cello (5 years): advanced orchestra (11th Grade - first year that advanced class was offered at my school), pit orchestra for musical (9th grade), ASTA certificate of advancement program (level 5) (10th grade)
-Student Worker at school cafe 4 days a week (11th Grade)
-Worked in law office last summer, again this summer (paid) (10th-11th grade)
-Co-founder/Treasurer of a music club - playing music/singing at retirement homes (11th)
-1st place Junior Achievement Pitchfest - I was the CFO of the business (11th Grade)
-1st place Junior Achievement Company Program - CFO (11th Grade)
-AP Scholar with Distinction
Note - I’ve helped care for my grandmother with alzheimer’s ever since she was diagnosed when I was in elementary school, so advisors have told me I should add that to my application since i’ve spent a lot of my time with her and it has shaped my identity so much.

State: CA
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Asian (I’m Filipino, but I don’t know if this makes any difference in helping or hurting me)
Income: over 200k

I am leaning towards pursuing business in the future so I’m primarily looking for schools with good undergrad business programs. Although I have mostly west coast and northeast colleges on my list, I am open to schools almost anywhere. I’m just looking to get away from home and gain a new experience living in a different setting. Any advice you may have on other schools that would be a good fit for me and on whether this college list is balanced are greatly appreciated.

Why aren’t you applying to more UC campuses? Since it’s all the same application, why not give yourself more options? I mean, why not UCSD as well as San Diego State? Or UCLA and UCB? You’ve got a decent chance of admission to the more competitive UC schools.

If you want undergrad business, it would also make sense to apply to Michigan’s Ross school. Admission is tough, especially for OOS, but it’s one of the very best of its kind. Notre Dame also has a good business program, but admission is very tough there as well. For less competitive admissions, try Babson and Bentley outside Boston. Both are known for their business programs.

@sheepskin00 I haven’t really looked at UCSD and UCLA because they don’t have undergrad business majors. I also haven’t really thought about Berkeley because I don’t think I have a good chance at getting in? If it’s worth it, maybe I’ll apply? Thanks for the other college suggestions too
