<p>Hey!
I'm a junior in a school in California. My dream college would be Vanderbilt, but I know that Vanderbilt is a reach for me. Can anyone recommend me some reputable colleges that I may have a chance of getting into when I graduate in 2014 and what I can do to increase my chances of going to Vanderbilt or any of the schools you recommend? BTW, I'm asain</p>

10 grade 4.0 (weighted)
