<p>I recommend applying to reaches, matches, and safeties.
Look at Stanford, the UC’s, etc.</p>

<p>Well, what do you want to study?</p>

<p>I agree with the above that it depends on what you want to study, whether you like big or small schools, urban vs. suburban/rural, etc. But your stats make you competitive at a lot of good schools. :)</p>

<p>Your GPA may hinder you from going to top schools. Try to bring it up.</p>

<p>I want to study Computer Science, or Civil Engineering and I’m a female, so maybe that’ll help? :o</p>

<p>I do not agree with @Rebecca0123‌. </p>

<p>@socalck has a GPA and extracurricular activities which are considered substandard to schools such as Stanford.</p>

<p>Where is your home state and how are your AP scores? Not that AP scores are important, but it may help me to re-evaluate your GPA.
Female students applying to engineering schools would usually have a small benefit.
From your screen name, I guess you are from California. If so, you should definitely apply to middle and upper UCs.</p>
