<p>So I am a junior in high school [ california] and as I am pretty near the end of the first semester I am starting to think about some universities that I would like to apply to..unfortunately I am not sure how realistic my views are going to be.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.94
GPA:4.42 weighted
SAT: 2290 Math :800 C.Reading: 770 Writing: 720
SAT IIs: Math 790 Chem 760 Physics: 770 U.S History: 800
Class rank: 28/405 [ little above the 95th percentile]
School: I got to a pretty competitive high school in the bay area
Extra Curriculars:</p>

<p>Sports: Varsity Soccer 3 years year [captain], Varsity Volley ball 1 year
Clubs: Future Business Leaders of America VP, Student Doctors VP, Young Democrats President [ I am also in CSF (california scholarship federation) and Speech and Debate}
Other: Shift leader in weekly hospital volunteer "job"
Summer internship at Stanford Dept. of Neuroscience
Placed 3rd two times in a state wide FBLA competition [400 competitors]
Placed 9th at the National level in a FBLA competition [ 800 competitors]
Placed 2nd at the state level in a FBLA competition [88 competitors]
Placed 5th regionally in Speech and Debate competition
Volunteer position at the Parkinson's institute
Internship at law firm </p>

<p>The major I am looking at as of now is the Economics/Finance/Management major</p>

<p>The schools I am considering are.. </p>

<p>Safeties: UC Davis, UC Irvine<br>
the Plausible ones ( Hopefully!!): Uc Berkely, UCLA, NYU UCSD Syracuse
Reaches: U. Chicago Columbia Cornell
SUPER reaches: Harvard and Yale [ Just for the fun of applying and getting rejected]</p>

<p>Im not sure exactly how realistic ..any of my colleges are especially my reaches. Out of the three of my reaches, two are Ivy League and U. Chicago is undoubtedly the best undergrad econ school to ever exist. NYU as a plausible option is also not steady as NYU Stern is a extremely respected name and college. </p>

<p>Please help me out in regards of arranging these universities appropriately. If there are any other schools at my level that you would recommend PLEASE let me know. If there is any area of my "transcript" that seems a bit weak please let me know about that as well. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think you’ve chosen colleges very well, and i’d be surprised if you didn’t get into at least one of your reaches. You look solid for all UCs as well.</p>

<p>I agree you have chosen wisely, I think some of your reaches like Columbia, aren’t that high of a reach. I know a child in the class of 12 at Columbia and their stats were just the same, but did not have the EC’s like you. He got waitlisted, but did eventually get in.</p>
